((((almedafan)))) I'm sorry your session was not a good one.

I'm wondering now if he's changed his mind?

He didn't say he had changed his mind so it seems like he is still OK with you doing twice a week. I think a T would tell the client if he thought a lower frequency was appropriate.

He thinks I should do some relaxation techniques for some of my sessions

When I am able to fit it into my schedule, I arrive at therapy 30 minutes early and I go for a walk. T's office is in a commercial area on the shore of a lake, and it is quite pleasant to walk around and look at the boats and businesses and water. The walk and fresh air help relax and energize me before our session. Could you do something like this to help relax and then you wouldn't have to give up some of your precious talk time during your session?

Maybe he's tired of hearing me blather on?

It is his job to listen to his clients talk. If he wants to talk himself, I am sure he has the skills to interrupt you gracefully and get his words in. You probably don't need to worry so much about T--he can take care of himself during the session. I wouldn't view his suggestion to try relaxation techniques as a message that he doesn't want to hear you talk.

If you are afraid you will get off track in your conversation with T, could you bring a notecard with the main points you want to make? A cheat sheet of sorts? I sometimes do that and I review it right before I go into his office.

Good luck with the session tomorrow!
