likelife -- it's probably that I'm not explaining it well. We were supposed to be scheduled for 2 hours of marriage t. He mistakenly put us down for only 1 hour (as he remembered our discussion of having 2 hours). So with the trauma stuff I emailed to ask if the first hour could be used for individual t and the second hour for marriage t. That's when he said he only had us down for one hour and he needed to stick to it. And I got really frustrated because I had been very, very clear on the two hours (and he to me) and I've been feeling quite vulnerable -- which is why I wanted to have I.T. as well as M.T. this week. (Usually I just have one hour of I. T.)

Did that help? It's a little convoluted.

And yeah -- I can definitely write things down and give it to him. Actually, I would have to send it in an email ahead of time because he prefers that I speak from my head during therapy and not read stuff to him. We got THAT one worked out a few weeks ago when I said, "Look, I don't want to spend all of my t time getting you caught up with all the stuff you want me to journal. So I'll email bits and pieces to you and you don't need to respond. If that works for you?" He said it was fine.
