This cancellation is different. It has nothing to do with T or my relationship with her. AND, I've never cancelled, ever, in the past. This is the first time.
I feel like I cannot cope with opening the Pandora's Box of emotions and if I DID go to session I would minimize everything and it would be useless to spend time there.
I'm even thinking of suspending therapy for a few weeks or months. It feels surreal that I'm even contemplating this.
Will I have post-cancellation blues? I have no idea. My session was scheduled for Thursday.

Did you let your T know your reasons for canceling? I can certainly understand wanting to take a hiatus from emotional turmoil. I wonder too, though, if what you anticipate would happen in session would actually take place. Unless, of course, it's a pattern that's been playing out recently.
I don't know all the specifics of your story, but from what I recall, it seems that now is an especially important time to receive some unconditional support.
