Gosh I remember rhow I used to freak out after sending my therapist an email, because to me this was being needy and asking for something and was wrong. I panicked so much early on that he said he thought maybe we ought to schedule me sending emails to ask for things regularly!!!!! I said NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!.

But I have become much more used to asking for what I need from him, thankfully, and only now realise that this alone is a HUGE step for me. Even last week I asked for an addictional session without too much angsting over it.....and mostly accepted his response as not being about me as a bad needy client.

Like Asia says, I bet she would really appreciate you talking about it and wanting to begin to work on it. Remember, (I think it may have been you who said it to me even?) just 20 seconds of bone chilling courage is all it takes that first time.
