Help guys, I'm not sure what's bringing this on. I had therapy today and it went fine, but suddenly I'm so worried that my therapist will leave me. She has made a point of saying that she is glad to be working with me on several different occasions, but I just can't seem to believe that right now. I'm worried that I'm too much and not a good enough client for her to spend her time and effort on. I really want to email her and see what she says but I don't want to be annoying or seem needy.

Anyone ever go through this??

I no longer have a therapist. But, with my last one, I often felt I was probably more trouble than I was worth. I think this is probably normal because we're sharing our innermost troubles with this person. It can feel like we're just dumping whole loads of crap on them, & who would put up with that? I don't know about e-mailing your T about this. You'd have to be the judge of that. But I do definitely think these feelings are something you want to discuss with her during your next appointment. They are important feelings.

I wouldn't email, but jot down feelings in a notebook or journal. Sit, and look at life, as a whole, search for the source of feelings, then next session, work on getting help to resolve feeling like you do.
It's a valid feeling. I'm of the opinion, there's a spectrum of such feelings. The other end, could be feeling not quite troubling enough, yet, therapy patients/ clients arrive due to wanting help.

My T specifically told me to contact her whenever I feel like this. But it depends on the T.

I think that my therapist would be open to heading it, but I feel like I tend to write things on email and then refuse to discuss them further leaving her at a disadvantage.

I wouldn't email. She has said that she's glad to be working with you, and that's a good solid reassurance to hang onto. Even if your therapist responds, you might always be looking for that reassurance and needing someone else to calm you down, which might not bother her but it can be draining for real life relationships. I think it's a good practice to work through this and share it with her in session. Otherwise, it can just become an obsession between sessions, and that's not helpful to you.
