Hello, I haven't been here in awhile but I know I can always come back and get supported - thank you for that

I haven't seen t in therapy for about 5 years now. We did reconnect last year and it was awesome - not in therapy. I have never stopped missing him even though I was the one to terminate. Now I have a dilemma - I am thinking about going on meds (hate the thought but I know when things are not right). I want to talk to T about this but I don't know if that is even appropriate and do I want to start something again. We have emailed and he has always been very helpful. What to do.....

I am feeling overwhelmed - I know my triggers - I think I know why they are happening - I know I need something -(meds-talking) - when the urges get more difficult to ignore then I know something is up.

I just don't know if this is the right road to take.

Thanks for the help,

Yes! It's always okay to call T again (unless they said not to). I did mine after 9 years. Therapy worked much better for me the second time around because both T and I had grown. I still remember the sound of T's voice when she realized it was me, the warmth and then she said something I noted but didn't quite understand at the time, that maybe we could work out some of the unresolved stuff between us (only, she didn't say "stuff" :-)

I think it would be OK to call/email and ask (if your T never said not to re-contact, then I think 'why not ask!', since this is someone you already know and have worked with)......if you're feeling the need, reaching out and asking is the right thing to do!

Definitely! No reason not to. Do what your gut thinks. Trust your instincts!
