Thanks for your support everyone. The cat has moments of lucidity (when she climbed a trellis), but she's heading downhill. We've given her one more week, but that's probably it.

In detroit our first cable in the 70s was called ON TV - clever name, no? Our nearby canadian cousins had cable loooong before we did, and we scoffed at them. They also had stinky well water toilets. The Popeye cartoon show was hosted by Poopdeck Paul if i remember correctly in the 50-60's. The 70's brought in new dress codes for students - jeans, tshirts, sandals.

Morning couch.

I slept through most of the night. Woke up a couple of times to pee but that means I am drinking.

Feel much better today. Off to go get C ready for school.

CE - sorry about your cat. It is hard to do. But I also believe it is humane.

thank you granite you are always so thoughtful and it's really kind of you to ask. Thank you, neutrino, I appreciate your asking, too.

I started writing a long post in my other thread after the session, and then I had to go to a meeting, and when I returned to my computer I closed the window without realising what I was doing

I'll try to write another post, but just briefly: it went ok. It was really hard and I felt terrible, and at one point T recognised it and asked if what was happening with me at that moment was what I'd written about... but later in the session when I was so tense and overwhelmed with emotion that I almost couldn't breathe, he kept asking me questions as if there was nothing out of the ordinary going on. I think he probably didn't notice anything, and I just wish I could have made him understand how I was feeling just then.

But it did go ok and he reacted really well to the letter. He thought it was a good description of what is going on, except that he would not agree to the word "despicable" to describe me.

Granite...I'm pocket riding, and if that T gets out of line ... well, I'll hit her with a bean sprout or something.

Mast...I always found it hard with xt sometimes, because at times it was like he knew me and we were so in sync, then other times (usually the important ones) he didn't read me. It sucks that we have to tell them what we are feeling. I often wished I could do a vulcan mind meld with him. But then again, he'd have to touch me. ICK!

why can we just upload our brains to a thumbdrive and hand it to them and say, "call me when you've finished the upload and you get it"

That would be cool.\

ETA: or even better (for me)

I would definitely talk to T about the precise boundaries she has with regards to texting. Texting can be problematic for some people because often there can be a let down when the reply received is compared to what might have been expected by a client. The same often goes for email for a lot of people. The response is often brief and to the point from T. If you don't talk to T about it in session...be very clear about what u need in your next text. Then if you don't receive it...talk to T about her boundaries with texting/emailing.

Thanks Melissad81. I will try to bring it up when I see her on Thursday. She just never replied only to say "see you next week". But I was really desperate when I texted, I had just walked out of my home following a horrible event and just needed someone to reach out to. I am just really hurt as I would never just text unless I was desperate. Basically I don't think she allows any contact out of session. I thought texting was less intrusive than phoning. I just feel really rejected and hurt. Thank you so much for your reply.

I hope you get the boundAries straightened out with her about this so you don't keep on getting disappointed. Not having contact between sessions in the event of feeling that horrible, would be a deal breaker for me. Please please ask her to be clear so you don't keep getting hurt.
Thanks for this!
