I'm angry at my T. Like really mad.
Some of the things we were discussing before the break were deep and intense and then all of a sudden I was left alone with all of this 'stuff' hanging over me.

How can she think it's ok to let me leave for 3 weeks with no contact after the last couple sessions?! I feel like I could shout at her! My depression is the worst it's ever been too. I know this is irrational thinking because it's not her fault we had the break but I think/feel it anyway.
I almost don't want to go back to her because of how bad I feel right now. I will though because she's a good T and I need to tell her how she's made me feel.

Man I'm so confused, first I couldn't cope with the attachment, now that has lessened I'm angry at her.
I want to put this stuff in an email to T but I'm scared she will hate me and think I'm stupid if I send it.

Why do we feel these things for our T's when all they do is try and help us the best they can and are so kind?!

I assure you she won't hate you and think you're stupid.

Write that e-mail and let her know you'd like to discuss it at the next session.

It's tough to confront these not so shiny feelings, but that's what therapy is all about!

Sincerely,
Pfrog!

I have felt exactly the same way towards my T. My T doesn't allow emailing in-between sessions (unless it is for scheduling) which made me even more upset and angry with her. I ended up telling her I'm quitting only to contact her a few days later asking if I could come back. We talked about it and seem to have gotten through it.

You know, I use to feel like that. I also use to have intense sessions leading up to the break. It was an unconscious attempt to remain attached to T. And it did the job I mean I was angry at her, want I? They certainly kept her in mind.

With time, I was able to manage the last few sessions better. Was able to not have to use such strong feelings to keep hold of her.

Thank you. I sent the email and told her everything I felt regarding her and other things. Eeek! She'll pick it up tomorrow.
