In my last post I told of how my T cut contact outside of sessions. Well, I've had contact via text since. What the heck is this all about? T hasn't mentioned the horrible message I sent her. I'm guessing maybe she was feeling overwhelmed & needed time out?
This brings me to the next session which is looming. I'm so nervous about it because that text will need to be talked about. Im ashamed and embarrassed of myself for it. I'm also fretting that she's going to terminate me there and then. Maybe the termination feeling is a bit out there but I'm still filled with anxiety.
How is it after all this I'm still looking forward to seeing her?!

Hello itjustis: If your T is an experienced therapist, she's seen it all before.

Who initiated the texts? I know you sent some...but did she start?

My T (T1) fairly recently cut out texts, too. But then she'd text me something. That irritated me, kind of, because it was as if texts were ok if convenient for HER, but not for me. I have had some things go on lately where my T has said "that would have been ok to text me about." Well, she just cut out texts.....so I'm not going to sit there and try to decide what texts are ok to send and what aren't. She didn't cut them out with just me. She said her phone constantly goes off, and she's trying to not be on it as much.... so she asked people to not text, and shut her Email notifications off. On her computer, too. In a way, I feel like I'm "lost in space," it was almost comforting to me before to know that, even if I hadn't heard back yet, she saw something. Or, I always assumed that she did.

Why do you think she'd terminate? Because of the texts? Well, she responded, right? And didn't ask you to stop, right? I think they ought to be ok. It's obvious a text you sent her was an important one....
