Amelia, I agree that it should be ok and I shouldn't have to be afraid to ask for what I need. I am in school to become a counselor myself, and I would never tell a client in need that I can't see them twice a week.
I also never have contact with her between sessions. The fact that SHE actually called me back herself surprised me. Though I did stress that it would only take 2-3 minutes of her time.
One thing I loved about my old T was that I could email her between sessions, even though I knew she wouldn't respond between sessions (unless it was urgent or about scheduling or something), but she would print them off and we would discuss them during our sessions. It was a way for me to be open between sessions...that once I sent the email I couldn't take it back.
Thank you, Amelia...it's been such a rough few weeks. I am barely functioning...I just moved but can't get myself to unpack and organize. I turned in a half-assed paper for my class - which I NEVER do.
I suppose one good thing about all this stuff I have experienced is that I have a lot of experience on what NOT to do lol.
