Dear MC,
I think part of my issues right now is that there keep being things I want to talk about or explore more from previous sessions. Because, as Luco said, 45-50 minutes isn't long enough. But then the next session, we're on to dealing with stuff from the past week. Instead of continuing conversations that need continuing. Maybe that's something to bring up Wednesday. Maybe we need more of a plan or something. I know you do this occasionally, but maybe I need you more often to be like, "Hey, so that thing from last week? I don't think we finished discussing that." Maybe I want you to help control the sessions more or something and not let us continue down a path that's headed nowhere. And not so much chitchat or joking around or personal stories maybe...even though that's part of what I like about you, it also eats up time.

It just feels like there are all these hanging threads out there. It would be good if we could tie some of them up (or stitch them up? However that metaphor would work).

And I really wish I could just talk to you individually about some of this stuff because that would help the stitching/tying go faster, but I know that's probably not an option. Wonder if you'd consider an individual phone session (that I'd pay for)? So that way it would be 50 minutes, not trying to squeeze me into your break time. Hm...doubt you'd go for it, but maybe worth a shot to ask... Not right now though.

Please do say something back to me before our appointment though. Even if you're, say, out of town right now for spring break--we don't see you till Wed., so that gives you lots of time. Honestly, at this point, even if you just say, "Thanks, LT. Let's discuss this in session," then at least I know you've gotten it.

Love,
LT
