I didn’t ask her about the phone thing as I didn’t think about it. I don’t know if that would work for me though. I think for me, it’s just a lot better in person. I think it’s not just the talking with somebody but the facial expressions and body language too. I hear things like voice inflections, but either I notice more visually or it makes me more comfortable or helps my overall understanding if that makes sense? I know too from talking with her last fall that my therapist grew up in that town and still has a lot of family living there, and she could be stressed out herself, so I am not sure if a phone session would be that helpful right now.

This week has only had one day on a normal type schedule, with my daughter in school, and even then, I had to go to the dermatologist as H had noticed a mole that he thought had changed, which the doctor removed for biopsy along with one other (I have a lot of moles given my coloring), so that wasn’t exactly the most relaxing day on the books. I also had a rheumatologist appointment scheduled tomorrow, and her office called and canceled it, saying the practice was just going to close tomorrow given the state of matters. My fibromyalgia has been acting up (probably the stress of Spring Break added to this week) but a bit before that so I had been wanting to discuss it with her, so now I have to reschedule that appointment too..sigh...
