I have not seen my T since December 6. I am so hoping I can make it to see her tomorrow. I am getting over the flu, but still have a cough and am very tired. I'm trying to stay awake during the day today (good thing I like watching football!) so that I can go to bed before ten. I have my clothes laid out, my breakfast planned, and showered today so I won't have to do it in the morning.

I did try to talk with her a couple of times this week on the phone, because some stressful stuff came up regarding my adult son, who has several disabilities. His behavior has become violent and out of control, and there is a possibility that he may have to move. Long story. His dad is his guardian, and is not very good at being a responsible parent. I felt like my T wasn't really there for me on the phone; it was like she could hardly wait to end the conversation. I am going to bring this up tomorrow, because I need more support at times than she was able/willing to give. I talked to her when I first started working with her about phone calls between sessions, and I was led to believe that she was OK with that.

Again, I am so thankful to my old T for helping me to grow in so many ways. I am not scared to bring up the support issue with my new T, and I don't feel like I am too needy or unworthy. He gave me such a sense of self-worth and taught me to confront in an adult, calm way. I wonder how it will go tomorrow?

I hope you feel better and make it tomorrow. The flu is miserable!
I definitely think talking about it is good. I do also think that depending on the time of the phone call and what was happening she may have been distracted. I know Ive had friends, family, catch me at a bad time while at work with someone standing at the door and would appear anxious to be off the call. Human nature.
Hopeyou feel better!

Thank you. I left her voicemails and asked her to call me when she could, so she chose the timing. I do look forward to working this out with her.

I hope you make it and that it goes well.

I hope you can make it and that you'll have a productive session, tametc.
