I don't know why I'm "afraid" to ask if I can get longer appointments. I don't know that she offers them, and I know she has a very busy (private) practice. I've hinted around at it... but that's also one of my flaws....hinting rather than just saying it. Maybe she's waiting for me to ask. That would be part of my "therapy...." lol

I've only had four sessions so far, so I agree, HazelGirl, that eventually I won't have this feeling of "unfinished business" after each session. We're still in the "getting to know you" phase, I'd say. I don't know how long that typically takes..... but there's a lot to hit on yet.

She has been very good at letting me Email between sessions, so I have done so, telling her things I'd rather not say in person. But I don't want to take advantage of that either.
