Tonight during my session with T we discussed some painful things and I was quite overwhelmed. As always T was very supportive. However, during the conversations she mentioned a couple of things that triggered my fear of her leaving. She has been dating somebody who lives outside our area for a few years now. A couple of years ago I asked if she was planning to move there. She told me she had no immediate plans to move but if she ever decided to I would be one of the first people to know and I would know well in advance and we would make sure I was well taken care of. She also encouraged me to ask any time I was worried about her moving. I haven't felt the need again. Until tonight. When she said a couple of things I wondered about if she is preparing to move. However, I was afraid of the answer so I didn't...I have been kicking myself ever since. We have regular email contact outside of sessions so I can email and ask her. However, I am not sure that would be wise. If she isn't planning to move then she can say so and things will be fine. If she is starting to seriously consider it, email is not the way to go. WTF do I worry about this for another week or what???? Besides she has the right to be happy and does not owe me an explanation... Life sucks!!

If it were me, I couldn't wait a week. If it is driving you mad, ask her.
Thanks for this!

Would it help to email, just to say you are feeling concerned about it and could you talk about it at the next session?

Possibly. Right now I am going to hold off and see how long I can wait it out without going completely crazy. I know if I email her and she isn't planning to move she would tell me right off. However, if she is thinking about moving, she would want to discuss it in a session (as would I). So, whatever her answer is, I will know the answer good or bad.
