Dear T,
I really hope you aren't irritated by my email and that you see it in the spirit in which it was meant (and also to avoid an awkward situation tomorrow).

I hope you understand that the last-minute change to virtual, especially the session immediately after we were working through a rupture tied to similar concerns, combined with your seeming sad/emotional is all triggering for me. (For the latter part, see: ex-MC.) Plus you know I'm under so much stress this week from being responsible for so many things related to D, plus household stuff, plus stuff for H while H recovers from surgery.

I'm just worried you're thinking, "Great, she stopped the 30-second text check in; only to be replaced by emails about other stuff--can we just go back to the check-ins?" But I hope you get what this was about, and give me some grace right now--or at least that we can talk about it tomorrow.

Love,
LT
