I just have been feeling my distress has been not noticed or ignored, and even when I'm in there bawling and emotional and clearly in crisis we don't make a plan for what to do until I next see T. I often leave feeling lost and alone, like I need more help and its not being offered (though T does give phone # and always calls back if you contact and ask, so that is good).
I am going to look into CBT options, I feel I need more structure and support. But I don't know how to go about leaving especially because its not a really bad relationship, I actually feel quite attached to T which is making me feel even worse that I am suddenly feeling not heard. But my general attachment to her over the past years is making me feel so guilty for this, but I'm just feeling that I need to be with someone who takes more action in crisis times since this was a horrible experience for me. But I feel guilty and scared even thinking about leaving!
Any other thoughts?
Thanks so much

I wonder does your t really believe that you are in such a bad place?
I mean, how are you in session? Do you appear depressed and gloomy or are you trying to be ok for t?
Because if its the latter, it's ok to not be ok, your t will accept you however you are and welcomes your true feelings
I would be blunt with her next app and say t. I am at my lowest here. I am on the verge of killing myself. I need more help from you, if you can't provide that I will find someone who will.
You need to look after yourself and you own needs.
I think your t thinks that you are ok, this happened with my own t1, because I put on a mask and pretended to be happy and that everything was ok and she never took me seriously until I told her I had a plan, then she listened.
