Dear T: you didn't answer my email about scheduling, but hopefully you will after you return from your time off. I will not email just to verify that you received my email. Not my problem if you're there next week and I'm not. But If I emailed again I'd be tempted to add some content about life tossed in there with the business. Don't want to pre-empt my reveal, although I suspect you already know most of it from what I've already said. But much has transpired in the month between last appointment and this upcoming one. It's the biggest break I've had in a few years since a long summer vacation. I am surprised how much less I feel I need therapy given the enhanced support I have. Makes me think hard about what this means. I thought the stress of the work would always require it. Now I think therapy is a stand in for something else that I need or want more. This is strange territory to me.
