I am 5 pm on Tuedays. With my first T, I didn't have a regular time, and I was so pleased and thrilled when my current T offered me a regular time each week after I'd been seeing him a couple of months. It meant a lot to me. Now that I am doing couples therapy also, things have changed a bit, with the couples therapy being at my regular time. Then last week, T asked me when I wanted to schedule the couples therapy since 5 pm Tuesdays was my time. Again I was so thrilled when he said this and wanted to give him a hug for prioritizing that time for me alone. But since that time is a really good one for both my husband and me, I've ceded it over to "us." Now I am just fitting in my individuals when I can, seems to happen in the morning sometimes, this coming week not at all--no extra sessions available due to the short holiday week.

It is different to see T in the morning on my own. Last week I was at 9 am and the office just looked so different in the morning light. So did T. It was really weird, and I commented on the light. Like, how can we possibly do therapy in this bright light? Also, T's face was illuminated so much better. I could see more of his lines and every detail/imperfection on his face. He looked older (and I'm sure I did too). It was kind of like seeing someone in an on screen close-up at the movies.
