Are you eating more lately? You have had a great loss, the loss of your husband and I wonder if you are using good as a substitute?
I am glad to hear your t is going nowhere, that's reassuring but perhaps it feels like she is going because you won't be emailing this week! How did this topic come up? Did you or t bring up the emailing?

Thanks, Mona. Actually, I've been eating less because I don't buy the junk food my H always wanted in the house. I lost about 6 lbs. but now I'm stuck. It's harder to lose when you're older, I think.
I brought up the emailing because it was the last thing we talked about at my last session on April12. T suggested I journal instead of emailing and that's when I emailed her an angry note about her horrible timing! So I wanted to tell her how emailing helped me stay connected while I was away. She understands but said the goal of our work together is so I can manage my parts and their feelings without needing to involve her. Thus my concern about her making me quit.

Thank you, ml. You're right. I've struggled with this stuff for too many years through too many Ts because I couldn't tell anyone what really bothered me. I'm having trouble telling my T, too. She doesn't totally get it but that's because I censor my thoughts and feelings. I know I can tell my T anything but when I talk sometimes other words come out instead of what I want to say. I get too embarrassed and ashamed. I realize that the only way out is through, which is T's quote from Robert Frost. I stumble over my words, but they need to be said. They've already been written but that's not enough.
Tomorrow is Thursday. It's not so bad not processing the session with her. I wonder if emailing photos counts? For this week I'll try not to and see how I feel. I bought a new notebook to write the things I can't post here. I think It's reassurance that I don't have to give anything up is giving me the security to try! That's a good insight.
