I had not heard back from my t about a time for a session so I decided to call, especially since the last few days had been rough and I felt like I really needed to talk that week. It was my first time calling t. She offered me a time 3 days later and I asked her a couple of times if there was one any sooner. She told me if something came open she'd let me know. By the day of the session, I felt silly for asking about a time sooner because the past couple days went well.

I think ts are glad when we ask for a session because that shows that we are recognizing when we need help and want it instead of suffering through or having a crisis. They would rather help before something small is wrong then find out something went horribly wrong. Sometimes it is tough to know what will change or happen in those few days. It could go either way, things could get better, worse, or stay the same. Especially when they've been bad, it's tough to see a way out.
