CBT- a really terrible personal experience plus more objectively most CBTs won't address the RS between client-T much. So I was surprised (and glad) they offered you another session (to say goodbye?)

I am very grateful that they were there to help me, more than they know, and thank you for your reassuring words
Aww bless you; I've noticed that they don't do that, but mainly I think it's because it's mainly worksheet-based so they feel they don't really need to... I live in the UK, so I'm not quite sure what other therapies there are - I've heard of general therapy that can last for years for some people in America, but I'm not quite sure if there's anything like that here
Plus, I probably wouldn't have the money for it anyway
I was very surprised - I've had a total of 12 sessions with my T, which is more than the average, so I was shocked - I honestly thought I'd just be rejected and told 'no' (the dreaded word). My T's colleague talked to my T afterwards, and then my T rang me about an hour later and said we would have another session next Monday, and depending on what happened in that session, I might be able to have a few more. Not sure whether they'd be CBT-based though...:/
I think I was offered another session next week because
1) I asked
2) I was very distressed this morning, and in a very bad state, and I don't think my T wanted to stop therapy with me in that state of mind - heck she didn't even want to let me leave this morning when I was bawling my eyes out
That was a very nice feeling
