So as some of you know I had terminated with T (even started going through some significant grief responses) then decided that I didn't want to stop therapy with T just because of the inability to have a set day/time each week. T said he would be happy to continue working with me-and we set up a session for tomorrow. I have not seen him for a session in 15 days-and I feel overwhelmed with how much needs to be talked about-we need to explore this termination issue...my change in diagnosis..and then I have some pretty serious issues I want to work on outside of that-especially with my addiction...I feel so much anxiety about tomorrow's session-and not being able to talk about all the things I want to...I'm so worried I'm going to leave the session disappointed...I know I will be useless at work tomorrow-with the session on my mind...I guess pocket riders would be a great help!!! I'm not allowed to talk about my T anymore with people in RL because I drove them crazy about it...I feel very alone in this : (

I'll be thinking of you! I've got a tough therapy session tomorrow too.
Just a thought - sometimes when I feel overwhelmed with too many things to talk to T about, I tell her that right at the beginning. I also make a list before hand, so that I don't forget something that's important. I'll start the session by saying "I have tons of stuff to talk about, I feel completely overwhelmed. I know we won't get to all of it." T usually asks me to give her an overview of the things I want to talk about, so I whip out my list and read through it. Then we start with whatever I feel is most urgent right then.

Thank you Blessed Rhiannon-it sounds like there are a lot of us that have big sessions tomorrow!! I will be thinking of you as well!!
I think that's a good idea-to at least write down everything before the session-so I get a sense of what is most pressing-and tell T I have a lot to talk about..I remember one time I used the list to not go into depth about any of it-and he called me out on that (in a loving T way...lol) so I'm always hesitant to bring a list in...lol! Thanks again for the support!

I wanna be a pocket rider!
 It's the worst feeling to leave a session disappointed, so I hope you don't feel that way tomorrow. It's so hard when there's not enough time in the session to get to everything! Sometimes it's better to concentrate on one issue thoroughly than to try to get everything in.I also used to think ahead. What will I regret not bringing up during this session? What do I really need to say or ask that I will obsess about in the car afterwards if I don't bring up today? Sometimes that helped; or sometimes the session flowed differently from what I had planned, and that was even better. I found that if I planned my agenda too carefully I didn't always feel better--that in itself led to disappointment. Often being there in the moment with my T helps not to be disappointed even if there's not enough time. |

Good luck. I quit and go back all the time. It does not seem to be a big deal to the t.

Thank ya'll for the support!! The session went really well...it had been 15 days since I had seen T...so it felt like coming home-to the safety and at one point I felt like I was all over the place with what I was talking about-and had a little freak out...because I saw the clock and knew I didn't have much time...I completely regressed into a childlike state...and T "held" and contained and was there for me...and after going trough that I felt better...calmer...and we closed with a prayer-I missed so much holding his hands while he prays...and then hugged and it felt great...I missed him so much...I know we have some serious work to do...and it's scary...but I'm not going to run anymore <3
