Dear T,
I am really struggling with your "therapy being a microcosm of my RL" thing. It's not. In real life people do judge. They judge and form opinions about me. Your job is to be neutral and let me spill my deepest emotions. If I did that in RL I would be judged. I am just not buying that theory. I know you like that one because I hear it ALL the time. Sorry. I am feeling all alone and our next session is so far away.
I am getting a little frustrated with the lack of end of day appointments...I can't keep taking half days off at work, but it's nearly impossible for me to go back to work and deal with people after a session. Well, I could, but I can guarantee I won't open up very much in session then. I can't afford to go back to work looking and feeling like a zombie...which is how I often feel after a hard session. So we can just have shallow, unproductive sessions I guess. I've been flexible about times so far, but I can't keep that up much longer. Maybe you need to hear that none of the middle of the day appointments will work for me next time and you can just call me if and when something at the end of the day ever opens up.
