I just came back from my T appt and I am feeling a little unsettled. It's somewhat about the material we discussed - my difficulty with taking risks in my life, but I think that I'm frustrated about the length of time I have to wait to see her next. I asked if we could book a few sessions ahead, but even with that my next two appts would be Oct 3 and 17. I know she needs to go on vacation and two weeks isn't that long of a vacation, but then she has other work commitments elsewhere... she's teaching a class. I get all that, but I still want my time. Nov 24 is the next date after that, and I'm working, so I'd have to book time off anyways. I think I may see about my college's psychologist, but I'd don't know if there is a limit on sessions, or if her therapeutic approach (CBT) would work for me. I just don't know what to do. It's annoying that she has so little time.
