This includes a very detailed (4+page) session notes write up. I see my T 2x a week. I am down to emailing her weekly to every other week, just depending, with much less stress around her replies. The longing is much less, I still think about her and miss her a good amount of time.

Hi Elio,
Wow, that's great that you have that working relationship with your T and I admire how hard it sounds like you're both working. Thanks for sharing what you've done/are doing along these lines. Just so I'm sure I understand, when you mention that "Sometimes it is weeks before I bring something up" do you mean then that your T is the one who introduces topics for your sessions and is it that she brings things up that she's read in your journal?
If so, are you ever surprised by what she chooses to bring up? Did this practice with your journal make it easier to just talk about things as they occurred to you?
