My T is BIG on me asking for what I need.

I think my T was trying to stress this in my last session to when she said, "Call me, you should have called me I would have talk to you." But even hearing this... it is nice to know that you CAN call if you really want/need to, but I still can't imagine actually calling. Maybe in my situation, just knowing I can is all I really need. (That's my story and I am sticking with it)
Kiya, I can definitely see what you are going through in your posts. If you spend the next waking hours asking yourself the should I call or shouldn't I call questions....I vote call. You contained it and held off calling long enough, maybe this is something that can't be contained.
Right or wrong for me I often ask myself some of the following:
What can my T really do to help me in X situation? Is there some decision to be made immediately and I want help with it? Am I just wanting to know she is out there somewhere? Am I worried that she may be misinterpreting something I said or did? If so, why can't I wait til our next session to clear things up? In the overall scope of things, is it really necessary for her to understand this information right at this moment? Is there something she can due (or will likely do) that can truly help me over the phone? Can I provide this to myself instead? For me in my situation after doing this I usually end up not calling. Last week I was told "I should have called".
I don't know what the right answer is for you Kiya. If after waiting all yesterday, you wake up today and are still asking yourself questions like the ones above-- then you are just torturing yourself and I vote Call.
