So I'm seeing T tomorrow.
Thanks to 1914Sierra, Someone, HazelGirl and others, I realize I need to flat out ask T a few specific questions about trauma work, voice mail availability, my anxiety..to name a few.

I also intend to double check some of the reactions I received from T...to see if she meant them the way I experienced them.

I am making notes to take with me.

Thanks for your feedback, guys. You are very helpful.

P.S. Sorry for some of my past anxiety filled posts.

Thank you, no, I like T. She's kind and patient.

I think I'm the one with the problem. I think I might be misinterpreting things negatively in the midst of emotion..and it makes my anxiety spiral out of control.

I have trouble stopping in the moment and checking in with her. I would like to learn to stop, then, and ask her, "This is what I heard, is that what you were saying?"

I always do better when I bring a list. Good luck to you!

Good luck! I think that bringing in questions and checking out whether or not your T meant what you think they did can lead to some really interesting and useful discussions, and sometimes a better relationship (and relief from anxiety). Just something I've noticed from non-T relationships...
