Thanks all for the support during my struggles.

I'm SO sorry... I definitely understand why you're upset, you've every right to be. I definitely would be too. I don't have any advice for you... but I just wanted to say I'm sorry and that I understand how hard it is.
Thanks for this!

i just had my first 50 min session... reduced from 60 minutes. that sucked. i started crying right at that 50 minute mark (don't know why and right now don't care)... but then it was time to 'wrap up'... just so left with this feeling of things unfinished. i hate it. it sucks. that's all. whatever. thanks for listening.

Oh, rainbow_rose. I know that 50 minute session feeling. I had them for ;7 years with my former T. She never let me stay over, either. It seemed like I barely got started and it was time to go. But......something good came out of it. I realized I had to get to my issues right away, and not waste precious minutes I dug in and many times the session seemed longer, or at least long enough. When I saw my very first T, I used to "waste" a lot of time sitting in silence, so a longer session didn't help.

I know it's hard, but you CAN accomplish what you need to with 50 minutes just the same as with 60. Will your T let you email her with your "unfinished thoughts"? I forgot what her rules are about email. Or you could journal what you need to finish up and start right away with it next time. Did your T comment on your crying at the end? Maybe it would help if you talk about how you felt at your session?
Thanks for this!

she did not comment on my tears. no email except for basic or scheduling stuff. I do journal and I'm sure I will do that later. it's just so unsettling. i feel like just taking time to think before i answer her questions is a waste of time. before i even started, i never thought 50 minutes was enough and i don't think that will change. i just need to figure out how to make it work for me. i'm not there yet...

thank you for you words of support, rainbow8.

i've been doing ok most of this week ... but it just hit me a few minutes ago ... the hurt that i have less time with her. the hurt - i hate it but I don't know how to get past it ... and if I mention it to her ... will she think I am bringing up the 'therapeutic relationship' YET again?

i don't feel like i can win with this one.

(she does offer 80 minute sessions, but they cost so much more... )

Hey hun,

**huge hugs** my sessions are 50 minutes long, so I know they feel short, although 60 minutes also feels short. I can understand that your upset hun, but it will feel ok over time.

I think preparing for your sessions and what you want to talk about will help.

Thanks for this!
