Thank you everyone for sharing. I'm relieved I'm not the only one that has gone through this.

I couldn't pinpoint exactly what was wrong and I wasn't exactly in 'crisis' or anything.. Like you I wondered if I could justify the extra appointment, and thought I should have some big specific reason - but my T demanded no such explanation. Just be honest and tell your T what you've wrote here, I'm sure she'll understand. Don't feel stupid, I think it's better to try and do something positive instead of staying quiet and struggling along.  |
JustSomeGirl you took the words right out of my head!
My T in the email said that 1:30 on Wednesday would work well for her but she wanted to know what I was thinking so this was my response: I felt like I ran out of time during our last appointment and I need to catch up before the next Thursday appointment. In addition I’m not feeling great and I need to move through it.
I hope I don't make her angry. In my adult mind I say 'why would she be angry?' but my inner child is scared s*^%less. I will be working on my 'agenda' for the appointment and be sure to bring a list so I don't forget everything I want to talk about.
