It sounds like you have a plan in place that will work for your appointments.
I'm not sure why you think that you aren't as important as his other clients, or why you would be wasting his time. The bottom line, do your sessions with him help you? That's what's important. Discuss your concerns about not having a support system outside of him and your friend. Maybe he can suggest a group (I know not for everyone), that you might be able to take part in that will give you some extra support. If there is a Mental Health Association near you, (there is an awesome one in my area), reach out and see what they have to offer. They are non-profit and generally run on donations/funding. The one in our area has lots of resources, and provides volunteer opportunities too. Try to build up your support network. I know, it's hard, and honestly I need to take some of my own advice.

Secondly....that is a great idea but I also struggle with bad trust issues and meeting new people. We are also working on that. I don't think I can get much new support in my life until I learn to become more trusting of others Thanks for your nice reply though ![]() |

![]() I understand that the "his job" and "being nice" is confusing. My T asked if I needed an extra session because I was a mess and to me that was because they knew what I am going through and offered extra help. It is their job to see me once a week but they cared enough to ask me if I needed another session without me suggesting it or anything. Hope Tuesday session goes well for you ![]() |

That's what my T is doing with me. I saw her for 15 months once a week, then 9 months every other week, and now we're at every 4 weeks. The goal is to not have consistent sessions, but to come in only when I need her. She will be my T unless she moves, retires, or dies. When something comes up, she's there for me. We're at once every 4 weeks because technically I don't "need" her. When I first saw her, I needed her and that's why we went every week. But can you imagine at some point, not needing your T all the time, but knowing he's still there for you when you do need him?

Interesting thought. Well, he has told me something similar ...someday I wont need/want to see him and that I struggle to believe but its been less than 2 months I've gone so far He also has told me though that he has no plans to move in the next 10 years and anytime I need to come back, I am welcome to. One of his clients has seen him 3 yrs and he goes monthly now and sometimes every other month I guess. so in a way.... it makese sense what your saying, I just struggle to believe I wont need/want to see him someday but we will see i guess ![]() |
