Yes, this is true for me too. There was a session once when I revealed something HUGE before a family vacation - something had happened in my life that mirrored an earlier traumatic experience and I was freaking out and had to get it out. Then I didn't see T for 11 days. THAT did not feel good.

I've noticed since then that when we have a schedule change - like seeing each other once a week instead of twice - I am much more reluctant to talk about anything too serious or close or deep.

I wonder if when the holidays are over, and you are back to your normal schedule, if things will feel different for you, Echoes??

I DO think it's interesting that when she said "Monday at 6?" you wanted to interpret that as "I don't really want to see you" instead of "are we back on our normal schedule?". There's something you can talk about when things get silent on Monday

(((((((((((((((((((((Echoes)))))))))))))))))))) You are doing good work just noticing all of this stuff. I hope things feel better next week when you resume your normal schedule...
