I'm thinking i maybe should call T and warn him I've run into a major trigger. see other post in depression. trigger warning http://forums.psychcentral.com/showthread.php?t=142097 But I've never had to call T before and hes on vacation. I'm also afraid he will overreact. I don't know what to do. What do you guys think? Have you called T on vacation before?

Kat- I read your post and replied to that one as well. If you need your T, call T. If T can not take your call, you should get a VM. Leave a msg. Allow T to be there for you right now when you need T the most.

Kat - always trust T to take care of T. That is the way therapy works. Whatever T has told you about the method of contact, that is what to follow. My T has assured me that he knows how to take care of himself. And I have to trust that. Big safe hugs to you!

I've struggled with that same thing: not knowing when to call T and worrying that it's not a convenient time for her. Like WePow, I've learned to let T take care of T and trust that if she answers the phone she is in a place where she can take my call.

I encourage my clients to call as needed.
If T can answer - T will. If it's not an appropriate time, they will let you leave a voicemail. Trust your T to be able to take care of herself Do what you need to in this moment.
Thanks for this!

Kat - Even if you need to leave T a message tonight - sometimes hearing T's voice can be at least somewhat comforting....((( STAY SAFE )))...And I hope you are able to reach T as soon as possible.

That is great! Aren't you glad you called? I agree with everyone else, T can take care of T and will handle each situation as it comes.
I'm happy you get to see him tomorrow.

(((((( Kat )))))) I am so happy for you that you will get to see your T so soon! That is very wonderful! Be sure to do your internal homework to prepare for the session - have your thoughts in a journal or easy to access and be open and honest. Big hugs!
