Sconnie, I used to feel very shy with T when I would see him after a couple of weeks, after we went from weekly meetings to every other week. It would be hard to dive in and talk about meaningful things, much less go deep. We started spending much more time in small talk because I felt so shy, and this ate up our time. Finally, I told him the trouble I was having and he suggested longer sessions, but still two weeks apart. So we did 90 minutes and that helped immensely!!! Now I gotto therapy every 3-4 weeks and we usually do only 50 minute sessions. I just got used to it after a while and became better able to stay connected despite the interval. I think it is a skill and I finally learned it. Yay! I would suggest that you tell your T the difficulty you are having and see what she suggests. She may have some great ideas--ones you have never even thought of. (Like you, I don't phone or email my T between sessions.)
