I had a moment last week where I really wanted to talk to my T. I was at the point of wanting to quit. I decided to wait 24 hours and I was better. My T. doesn't email so text/call are the only choices. I knew my only options were to ask for another session or hope for her to say something helpful. I knew that she probably wouldn't have another session available before my next session.
I also asked myself what I would need her to say to make me feel better. Encouragement? The problem is it would have taken more than a phone call or text. I'm not sure what she could have said except to hang in there, sticking with it is worth it, etc. Once I realized there really wasn't much she could do, I didn't reach out. I did get better.
I've reached out before and she would want me to come in.
