This is why I think out-of-session contact is important. Yes, you use your coping skills for the rest of the week, but having T there inbtwn sessions is so helpful. You get a little more support, a safety net, and someone encouraging you along.

It means so much to have access to my T via email or phone. If I have a difficult session, I can tell her. In return she can offer advice or support. If things get really bad, I can call her and have a mini 15min session. It might not seem like much, but it's better than nothing and a little bit does go a long way.
