I've been seeing my T now for basically 9 years (LOL never thought I'd be in therapy this long) every tuesday evening, in the same timeslot, except for vacations & when I was in the hospital, and I didn't realize how important that routine is to me. Having that stability has been incredibly important, especially in the last 18 months.

Now, because I'm in training to be a volunteer on a psych hospital's crisis line, I've had to switch my session times to Monday afternoons, for the month of October.

This also means that I get double therapy on Mon. afternoons. I have my addictions group therapy session, followed an hour later by my private therapy - this feels like a lot of therapy for one day.

I'm finding it all very disorienting.

I'll be really glad when Oct. is over and I can go back to my "normal" time slot.
