A lot of the time I feel silly even having regular sessions, like I am trying to be needy for no reason.
ditto.

So my short answer is, yes, I feel silly.

But my long answer is that I have never asked for an extra session or called my therapist for anything except scheduling issues. My previous therapist encouraged me to call her, but I never would have.

A few weeks ago, I emailed and scheduled an appointment in between appointments (which I didn't really think of as "extra" because I was going to be two weeks between appointments because of scheduling conflicts on my end). I initially had told my therapist that I didn't want to schedule anything that week and that I would wait, so of course he made a point of commenting that he was glad I came and asking me how I felt about my decision to schedule a session, which embarrassed me. But I didn't die of it, so that was good.
Thanks for this!
