T left me a message this afternoon, she is sick & cancelling all appointments for tomorrow.

We willl reconvene... after four weeks.... or is it five...... or who knows....... yikes

[ECHOES]

Good grief, this week's session was just not meant to be.

Can you reschedule this one that was cancelled?

[sittingatwatersedge]

sure, next Wednesday.

She said, if this is OK with you, you need not call back.

I am free of you for another week SAWE, don't be bothering me with your phone calls.

[ECHOES]

I'm sorry. It is that by next week it will be 4 or 5 weeks. Yikes is right!!
How disappointing, especially when a session is cancelled that we have been twisting in agony about in the first place.

Aw, twinnie, 'You don't need to call back' isn't 'I am free of you for another week'.
It's 'I am sick and need to rest so we can get back to meeting next week'.

Oh I'm so sorry...that's such a long time to wait. I'm sure T didn't mean
"I am free of you for another week SAWE, don't be bothering me with your phone calls. " Not at all!!

one big thing I can take comfort in (besides the fact that I had not prepared for this session, i was going in blind) is the certain knowledge that whatever bug she has, *I* didn't give it to her. I had a bad one over Labor Day weekend, but was of course nowhere near her.

I guess I am selfish, sorry. I would have liked to hear at least "the books you ordered for us came in and I am intrigued so far" or maybe at most "it has been a long time for us, you can leave me a message if you need to" or SOMETHING. drat. I don't feel that I can even leave a word saying, sorry you are ill, please feel better soon.

sawe, call and leave your caring message since she didn't say you could not call, just that you didn't need to in order to confirm the Wednesday appointment. I think it would be a nice gesture that you will both appreciate!

wanting that doesn't sound selfish to me, just like a perfectly normal thing to want from her ... I'm really sorry the session had to be cancelled and hope you can hear (really hear) the translation echoes gave of "It's 'I am sick and need to rest so we can get back to meeting next week'."

Oh yeah, but when I or Skysblue does it ("you don't have to call back"), it's okay? Let's not have a double standard! On second thought, sure, why not?!
p.s. agree with echoes

so... I did. It won't make her better, may not even make her feel better; but I'm glad I did.
I just hope we can start up again after this long interval (selfish, see? it's on my mind)

I'm sorry you have so many sessions cancelled, SAWE. I'm glad you called and left a message for your T anyway.

SAWE, your t is not sick of you, just sick with a cold or flu.
and i think it is a good thing for you to call t and let her know you want her to feel better.
your session time will arrive and yes, i hate when i get all psyched for a session, then NOTHING!!!!! ARGGGGG

sending safe hugs

[sittingatwatersedge]

I am unable to visualize telling her what is in my heart
consumed with the fear of making her feel like all this time has been wasted, so that she too will feel like giving up;
that I am resistant to give up my defenses
and there is no more work that can have an effect on me any more.
no confidence.
no trust.
no plan.
