i'm so glad you've decided to go see t tomorrow. you are one strong woman. don't forget to let him know you'll be there so he doesn't decide to step out for a coffee or something.

i bet the reason you haven't heard back from him is because he's been really trying to figure out what happened too and how best to rectify it. i'm sure he doesn't want to say anything that will make things worse so is really thinking about it all. he cares about you so much and sure didn't mean to act like a doofus. he cares tree--don't ever doubt that!
Thanks for this!

If you are in pain and scared there is definitely something here to work through and it will really be worth it I think..........

Tree,
All I can say is when I found myself returning to T after a major rupture with my T it was one of the hardest things I did. Mainly because I was going totally for ME. To give myself closure and not for anyone else.

Successfully facing this rupture was a very powerful experience and help the therapeutic relationship.

He did not call me to leave a message, like he ALWAYS DOES. I don't know if he's angry, or punishing me, or has dropped off the earth, or what. He is obviously not interested in connecting.

I don't want it to end this way. I wish I could have seen this coming, and I would have started the termination process, and everything would have ended the "right" way. I can't imagine walking in there tomorrow.

This is kind of like a big nightmare.
((((((((Tree))))))))

Did you ask him to call you back when you left your message? IF you didn't, since you called first, he might think that you don't want to talk to him directly because you are angry. And so to respect your space and not intrude if you didn't ask, he could believe he is helping. As you reminded me last week when I was angry at my Pdoc for not calling me back after I left a message, he may not realize you want him to call if you didn't actually say so. (That was my problem last week.)

Thanks for this!

Hi again Tree,
So I finished reading all the posts to this point now, so I'm up to date unlike my last post where I was not yet.

I am so glad to hear that you are going to see T tomorrow!!!! Please let us know how it goes. I have faith in you. You are so strong.

I hope I can do this

My session is in a couple of hours (I think, I'm so freaked out that I'm all confused about time. i see him at 9 and it's 6:53...so that is just over 2 hours, i think). My tummy is all in knots and i am shaking!! I hope I don't go and just dissociate and leave i don't know if i will be able to stay present and feel like this at the same time.

i don't want to, but maybe i will write some things down so if i DO dissociate, he'll still have the info. or maybe i will leave a message and tell him i really want to try to stay present and ask him to help me do that. because i KNOW i want to stay present now, but when i get there i bet i won't feel so strong.

ack, i am so confused about the time. i think i will go shower so i am ready to go in case i am wrong about the time

this just TOTALLY SUCKS. i wish it wasn't happening. i SO wish that.

You can do this...keep breathing...and yes, a few notes seems like a good idea to help keep you focussed, or to convey things you can't say at some point...
Thinking of you...

You need therapy for your therapy...LOL! Please know that I'm not laughing at your situation but, what you said was really funny. I've often found myself in your situation but, just know that everyone is human and they make mistakes. I think you should send that email. If nothing else you are not keeping your feelings inside. I don't know anything about you specific situation. You know what's best for you.
