I have to miss T this week because my flight to my grandfather's funeral is earlier than my T appointment. Is it selfish to not want to miss my T appointment? For all that I need to deal with some issues I'm having with T, I was also hoping to talk about my anxiety about flying and dealing with my parents who I don't have a very good relationship with. I'm just stressed out. I know I should reach out to T for support, but I feel disconnected and don't want to have to go through the stress of reconnecting. Plus I feel numb. I just feel so something. Not quite sure. I feel like I should do a fill in the blank. Then I would be able to figure it out.

I feel ________ (adjective).

Ugh, I understand. I make every effort to arrange my life around my T schedule.

Can you call T and ask for an earlier appointment? I know it is hard to reach out. But it can help you manage some of this numbness, maybe?

It is absolutely not selfish to not want to miss your T appt. I see it as good self care which is important.

I, too, revolve my plans around my schedule with T as much as possible. Since I go to group on Tuesdays and individual T on Thursdays, it's hard to plan anything that isn't more than a couple days.

I had the opportunity to extend a nice, free vacation I had last summer which I hesitated to go on initially because I'd be missing group...ended up having a great time but I STILL went home the day I scheduled to just so I didn't have to miss my individual T appt.

I can't see my T earlier this week because I think she only sees clients on Tuesday and Thursdays. I didn't have my travel plans finalized until tonight. Sooooo.....

MUE- thanks.

Ugh.

Would your T be able to squeeze in a phone session with you prior to your trip?

I could see myself having an imaginary session with T in my sleep or something to address my issues....and just knowing what he'd say....that may sound crazy, but....well, ok...it may be....but that's me!
