Great question - at first I had a hard time letting my T know that I was struggling but after asking for an extra session for the first time and seeing how much it helped, I was able to feel okay with it. I also have Bipolar Disorder and my T does phone sessions so there have been times that I have been struggling with depression and just needed to check in with her for 15 minutes. I think it is great that you are going to do this and I hope it will be helpful to you!
