Do you have a transitional object from your T? Would it help? I'd asked for, and received a handwritten note from T. As well as a card with some therapy reminders.

I also audio record sessions and being able to re hear sessions have been helpful. Especially safe space imagery exercises. (she knows about it because I told her eventually. She asked me to stop but said it's up to me so I have chosen to not stop)
I'm sorry you have to wait so long between sessions. In my personal experience I'm not sure a transitional object would help -- I have worked very hard to get past my transference with her and I think that might make it worse for me. I don't audio record sessions, but I immediately journal about the session (both what happened and how I feel/felt) so it's kind of like a record for me. Thanks for the advice
