I know you said we could talk about it whenever needed. I'm taking you at your word. Please don't let me down.

That was probably the worst session we've had for a while. It didn't seem as though you were present with me and how I was feeling.

Towards the end you asked if there was anything else I wanted to explore re the 'pink elephant' but it was too late in the session by then and I felt like you just wanted to end the call.

*****! I really needed to try and talk this through with you. I even said I'd come close to phoning you over the weekend (I didn't because it was late, and I never would have phoned you late....or otherwise....) and all you could say was that 'it would have crossed boundaries,' but if I felt like that again we should have an extra session and talk about it then. Ffs! All I needed was for you to be really present with me today. Was that so difficult to do?

It was only 2 weeks ago that we had a relatively 'good' session, the first in about 6 weeks. We have 3 sessions left in this batch, but I really don't feel like I can start again with someone else.

You probably know me better than previous counsellors, more about me than I would want to try again to disclose to someone else, so I feel kind of 'stuck with you'...

I wish I knew what to do.
I wish I had someone to talk all this over with.
I wish I had some support other than you.
