Ruptures take as long as they need to for you to feel better. For me it is a matter of us talking it out until I feel heard and understood. It doesn't mean I always get what I want but it might mean we find a compromise. I have had times where we work it out the next session. There was one time it took us three weeks of 2× a week sessions revisiting it for me to feel totally heard and understood. It really made our relationship stronger.

As far as wanting to reschedule sessions that need to be missed whether it is because of a conflict I have with our normal time or even one she has, I am bit upset she doesn't understand your need for this. It seems like this should be a basic concept for a therapist to understand. It is all about consistency for many of us with trauma issues.

My therapist understands how hard it is for me so always offers to see if she can fit me in at another time. It cannot always happen because of both our schedules but she really tries.
