hey. yeah, i have sessions like that too sometimes. i think that it would have been better if i didn't go even. 'cause usually i look forward to them so much and then to find myself feeling disconnected and unheard and stuff can be really hard. disappointing. and then i usually start wondering why things went that way. is he sick of me? does he not want to work with me anymore? am i boring him? does he not care about me anymore? round and round and feel kinda mildly frantic and concerned and alone...

but, yeah, that sense of connection always comes back. next week. or the week after. sometimes i think it is about my pushing him away (either consciously or unconsciously). other times i think he really is a bit distracted. i guess he has bad days too. feels sick sometimes. ugh. human frailty :-(

can you contact your therapist between sessions in any way? write to him or something like that? some people find that helps. sometimes i think it can help to just tell them that one felt very disconnected. sometimes talking about having felt that way can help one feel better.

sometimes.

hang in there. let us know how your next session goes?
