Ok so today I had a session after we missed our last session because T was out of town. It was OK while she was away. I have her photo and a letter she wrote to me which helps me. I wrote her one letter during the two weeks because I was feeling really stressed out. She encourages me to write because it helps me get my feelings out. I could call her also if I needed but I did not. I told her in the letter that I would try to address the sexual issues in our next session but I did not want for her to be frustrated if I could not. So today she asked me what I wanted to talk about and I talked about work issues. I was not up for talking about the sexual issues and I chose not to bring it up. She did not push me. I appreciated that. I think since we missed last weeks session I just needed to ease back into therapy and I just could not go too "deep" today. She is very sensitive to this and I am greatful that she understands. I will try again next week.

I think it is so important for T to follow our lead, and to let us come to things in our own time. There have been a few times when T has gently pushed me...when I am right on the edge of saying something and can't make myself get it out...but he chooses those times carefully. Generally, I am in control. My T believes that we all have an internal wisdom that will guide us on our own unique path to healing. I like that  I'm glad T is back, and that you had a good reconnecting session.

thats great. Most therapists wont push. Its good to have the safety of knowing that it is your session. Also don't push yourself either. Be kind to yourself

Thats great, cmac! My T has pushed only a few times. And each time she tells me that she IS pushing, and why.
