I think that your T was completely sincere when she said she appreciated your letter. You told us about it - you were being honest and open, and that is what Ts (supposedly) appreciate most of all. She's a T, she knows that everything her clients say about her isn't necessarily about her. That she called you back shows that she is concerned for your well-being. My untutored opinion is that 1) this T is on your side, and 2) even though you are dependent on her right now it doesn't necessarily mean that you always will be dependent on her. So I would advise you to go. Especially since you know you won't see T for a couple of weeks after this session... my guess is that if you don't go you might fret about this more while she is gone, than if you do go.

Hey Ap, I knew I could count on you to give me encouragement. Thanks so much, I really appreciate it. Its good to know someone else went through this aswell and not only me. Everything I said in the letter was true, but it was true for me. It wasn't that I was saying bad things about her, just about the feelings I had about her. This probably doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but its just making me cringe now thinking of it. I still trust that what I said in the letter is true, except I told her I didn't trust her, and I think that was really a terrible thing to say, cos she has been building up the trust for a good few months, and to say that must have really hurt her. She sounded kind of annoyed onthe phone, but yep I think if I don't go, I will regret it. Maybe I should go, but OMG I'd say I'll be in bits all day Wednesday and probably not sleep on Tuesday night.
Have you any tips on how to actually start off when I sit down (will you come with me lol)
