Just had to share this, because I am so incredibly thankful for my T!

Y'all might remember my other posts about my T being on vacation...well, then I went on vacation, so I had to miss three sessions. I emailed my T about halfway through her vacation, and when she got back, she replied that we could do a phone session while I was on vacation. I emailed back that I really didn't think I could handle that, so she suggested just a 15 minute "check in" call. I agreed. She was willing to schedule a call with me on a Saturday morning.

On the call, I was seriously struggling to talk to her about anything deep, plus, I was in "vacation mind". I told my T how much fun I was having, and she said that we didn't have to get in to anything deep, she just wanted to keep in touch, as she knew that I was worried about pulling away during our break. I told her that there really are quite a few things that I want to talk to her about, but I don't feel able to. My T asked me to email her the topics I want to discuss, in case I still feel unable to talk during our next session. That way, she can prompt me and help me to discuss things.

My T is just so awesome, and so understanding, and so willing to work with me and help me. I'm grateful that I found her, especially after bad experiences with two previous T's.

I am so glad that T was able to connect with you over the holiday and meet your needs. That always feels good. Thanks for sharing such a positive experience.

Rhi, so glad you and your t connected. she reached out and connected on your terms. and you still get to enjoy your vacation... kudos to you!

sending safe hugs

I love that T reached out to you and helped you hang onto your connection with her. And I love that we can connect with our T's without always having to get into the deep stuff. It sounds like she gave you just what you needed

That's great to hear, Rhiannon. Yay!! I like how the conversation didn't need to be deep. It can be enough just to connect. That, in it's own way, is deep!

Thanks all. I just feel so very lucky that my T really "gets" me and seems to genuinely want to help me. I emailed her my list of things I want to talk about, so hopefully this session on Thursday won't be too horrible for me. I know that I've pulled away a bit, and I know it's going to be hard for me to talk, but I also know that T will help me through it.
