I don't get this argument unless you're saying Madame T made the request for her own personal benefit so he would be easier for her? I'm assuming she would only suggest it if she thought it would help, and for whatever reason it sounds like a big enough issue for her that she has not agreed to extra sessions to this point.

Cantexplain - I hope you get a better ending and more understanding too, because I'm sure a bad ending to such a long relationship is not good. But, I would be careful how you phrase it in the email if you want her to schedule you... that's just my gut feeling. If you tell her you're a "yes" person and the next time she hears from you it will be to schedule you're appointment, I fear that will not go over well. FYI, that would piss me the hell off.
