Ha, I had a loonngggg, intense session with her today and we didn't even talk about it, except I feel better.

I literally can ONLY see her on Saturdays. My job doesn't allow me to leave during the day, so nights or weekends are it, and she originally said she does saturdays. She walked in and basically we went right into crisis management mode because I spiraled down deep this week. The only reason I could see her today is that my school was closed, so luckily it all worked out. She said when she saw my e-mail asking if she had any openings today, she knew it was important because I seemed really off last week.

I think that time management is not her strong suit (as we stayed WELL over an hour), and if cancellations keep happening, I will bring it up because I won't be able to deal otherwise. Today was really about me admitting to myself I actually have clinical depression and need to try medication again. And admitting to her I self-harm, so those took greater priority, and I am ok with that.

I am not putting this issue off the shelf, but I really, really liked how she handled the session today, and got me to talk about something I have kept secret for many years--and never told my previous therapist.
