Hey.
I am seeing a new therapist and I saw him yesterday; seeing him again tomorrow. (multiple sessions so we can get the ball rolling, then once a week). Normally with my other T we would have our own thing, I enjoy sitting on the floor during therapy on some days. I am scared to bring it up to my current T because I don't want to bother him. And sometimes hugs at the end of the session; would help me feel less anxious; old T use to do that. Also, I want to ask about out of session contact just incase. I like knowing that I have that as a back up if I feel like complete ****. My first T ever would let me text him whenever and he would respond ASAP, and he would text to ask how my day was or how I am feeling. It made me feel like someone actually gives a ****. I am just terrified of bringing these things up during therapy. I wanted to yesterday but I was to anxious and scared too. What should I do? I don't know how to bring it up at all. |

Can you write it down. That was how I had to do it. These things seem important to you so you owe it to yourself to ask.

I agree with waterbear. Can you write a list of questions and bring it in to therapy? I feel better if I get the boundaries established (mine and theirs) as soon as possible.
With CurrentT, I said something like, "this is how my previous T and I handled ...touch, phone, email, where we sit, etc. I find ...helps me best. What do you think about that?" I doubt you would be bothering your T, that's what he's there for, right? And you are the client, paying him after all. My guess is he's been through this before. You might be surprised. ![]() |
