How can you even remember me? It seems like other people have sessions every week! I dunno - would that help me or kill me?
I'm still wondering if I made the right decision in cancelling the appt. with the other guy to keep seeing you. But I still think the situation would be the same with him - heck, he's got that PhD after his name - I'd only think I was bothering him more than I think I bother you.
So, I'll see you again in a few weeks. I'll totally stress out about it for a week or so ahead of time. I'll be a complete nervous wreck during the session. You'll tell me to think of my strengths again, like you always do. I'll feel like garbage afterwards. Lather, rinse, repeat.
I still just want to disappear.
But, I have 5 days off of work, and it's time to cook a turkey. I can do that.

Touch of Gray,
Have you asked if he can see you more often? Once every four weeks seems like a maintenance schedule and you sound like you might need more at this point. I guess some clients come and go, so if you ask maybe he can put you on the waiting list and give you the same time/day every week or every two weeks, whatever you are thinking. Just wondering? I'm sorry you have to deal with this.
