Sister... I think that you are indeed percolating right now. Perhaps your T senses this need for you to start releasing what you are beginning to release. Sometimes we feel like we should be able to wait a week... and sometimes we can and that is difficult. I think that you should leave that up to your T and if it concerns you you can discuss it further at your meeting.

I have been amazed (and maybe jealous) at how many people are able communicate with their T's between session. I believe that this partially has to do with the individual T and also with where the client is in their journey and in the treatment modality that has been chosen.

My pdoc would be similar to what Perna describes. He has frustrated me but does allow that it is an equal opportunity thing that he provides for all of his patients. He wishes all work to be done within the room within his guidelines. I know that he does this actually to protect himself... as well as keeping the boundaries intact. That being said...I have seen him emergently... probably less than 4-5 times in 15 years. He tells me that I can call him at home when I am ready to go to the hospital. His phone message will not allow messages on the weekends and during the week messages can not exceed 1 minute in length. What a butthead. But I respect what he gives me in session and I have needed to call him about medicine failures and the like and he is attentive though I keep my words to a minimum. I recall years ago calling him and he said that people feel bad... and I would need to live with it until at least we met again. Feeling bad was no excuse to call him. That was not easy to hear but it was probably what I needed to hear. It was also a protective mechanism for his own wellbeing. I get it.

There was a time that he got a new fax machine that was connected to his phone. For some reason we were on the phone about something and he asked me to fax him something and faxed me something at work. He even slipped and called back and called himself by his first name... what a slip. LOL... I took the opportunity to respond in kind. Flustered him. However.... now that I know he has that fax... I type up what I need ... like a bill, or an emotional crisis and fax it. I do not do it often but ... I asked and he is o.k. with it.

Oh by the way... I am now being seen weekly after being seen every two weeks... so that is good... and I am pleased about it... He evidently sees that I am percolating and I feel it.

So... after all of my gabbing.. I tell you ... that you need to find what works for you and your T. This may indeed be the right time for you to be seen again... He sees you percolating.... so perk.
