I haven’t seen T for a month (holiday and stuff) and I should go there next Monday. It feels so strange, almost like before the very first appointment, a mixture of fear, curiosity and “why the hell am I seeing her in the first place”. I want to write her an email to make sure she’s still there and she’s real, but I feel so stupid and don’t know what to write.

Hi, I also feel as you do when re-connecting again, and always ease myself in with an email, perhaps saying, "hi feeling a bit funny about returning next week, so just checking in."

((((((((((((((((((3velniai)))))))))))))))))))))

When I am feeling that way, I will sometimes send T and e-mail that just says "are you there?". I like Mouse's idea too.

It does feel so weird going back after a break. Be gentle with yourself and give yourself the time you need to reconnect.

My T doesn't allow e-mails, but when I was seeing her monthly I would call just to be sure she didn't "forget" me or my appointment. She would call back with a reassurance that she was there. That helped me a lot. So, I suggest emailing or calling her. I think your feelings are common. Good luck with your session.

thanks everyone. I guess I'll write that email, I need to check if the appt time didn't change anyway. I'm just afraid that the short email would turn into a long ramble about how I almost left my bf in the middle of Italy or a lot of other things. I'm sooo not good at writing short emails, lol

I like this...It gives me a warm fuzzy feeling....

I support sending a reconnection email. I think it would be a nice way to touch base before you go.

GL with your appt!

I wrote a nice and short email to t and when I clicked on "send" it dissapeared, it's not in "sent" folder, where all the sent email go, it is nowhere, gone, poof...

(((((((((((((((((3velniai))))))))))))))))))) How frustrating!!!!!!

Can you rewrite and resend? If you are worried about her getting the same e-mail twice, you could just tell her that you wrote an e-mail, hit send, and it disappeared, so you are worried that she didn't get it and are rewriting it...

I can't rewrite it, idk why but I just can't When i was on holiday i lost one email to T too, but I thought hey the stupid mobile phone services provider, their internet is not working properly when you're abroad, but maybe it's just me, not good at anything, even such a simple thing as sending emails. 10 minutes later and I'm not even sure i wrote the email, not sure about anything, hate myself for being so stupid.
