You were right, LonesomeTonight....that's exactly what she was doing. As I posted on here, she sent me a "check in" email this afternoon asking how I was after a hard session, and I told her. At first, she was under the impression that I have a hard time with the limited time. She said, like clockwork, I usually lose it 20 minutes before the session is over. I don't look at the clock hardly at all, I wouldn't know. But she said it's about that time I've had enough, feeling overwhelmed, and just don't want to talk much anymore. She said she felt bad kicking me out yesterday, but I didn't. I was only upset at the frame of mind I was in when I left. She could have helped me snap out of that if she wanted to. But she said (the Email is copied/pasted here) that basically I should learn to take care of myself, too. This also is a very trying time in my therapy. Not a time to do this and have me feeling rejected on top of it. My fear is that now, I'll want to stay stone cold and not cry under any circumstances, and if she were to come over, to tell her to just stay where she is. I don't want any more conflicting actions. She didn't respond to my last Email (also shared here). That leaves me feeling up in the air, although I know she doesn't want me to keep going with this conversation when I'm going for a weekend get-a-way early tomorrow, which is rare and unusual for me. I just feel sick. Wondering if therapy is worth all of this.
