How do you ask for more support?
I know I can contact T outside of session. She is always great at responding and saying the right things.
But when something difficult comes up, I can struggle with feeling abandoned in it over the next few days and it really affects me badly. It’s like I get triggered because I think I’ve been left in it. What i need is to be able to reach out and express this and receive reassurance that she has not abandoned me. I hate how needy this makes me but I think it makes me really resistant around difficult things because I can’t handle being left in it afterward and it limits what we can talk about.
Basically what I want to know is this an acceptable thing to ask for or is it pathetically needy? I’ve never reached out for something so needy before
