Thanks a lot for yet another 3-hours-prior-to-session cancellation. Go **** yourself.

Seems like they are all at it. Absolute horrors, the lot of them.

I'm sorry, c. Seems so, doesn't it

You said twice that you are excited to work with me. I am a pretty interesting “case” to most therapists. I look forward to meeting with you too. I’m so glad you do in office sessions. I was scared to ask but glad I did.

Also old T wtf? You said you’d call new T last Thursday and I was confused for several minutes wondering if you had talked to her until I found out you hadn’t. Seems like a bit of a ****** thing to do to me honestly.

Dear T: I'm mad at you. You've messed with my head. I hate you right now. Kit

*Beth* · Mar 01, 2021 at 07:42 PM

I hope you're ashamed and your face turns red when you read my email. I hope you understand why I'm so hurt. And I hope like hell you don't cancel tomorrow, too!

So I printed out the worksheets from that book. 27 pages of them, zoiks! I'm on page 46 and am reading about anxious attachment styles right now. Her descriptions sound a lot like me. Especially where she says "women with an anxious attachment style are commonly overwhelmed with emotions (particularly worry) and fear of being abandoned or forgotten".

I have a question for you. Why am I still so screwed up 9+ years into therapy?!?!?!

ArtieTheSequal · Mar 01, 2021 at 08:50 PM

And why has it taken me 9+ years to ask this question?

velcro003 · Mar 01, 2021 at 10:18 PM

Hi T. Just wanted to pop in and say that I appreciate you. You keep trying and refuse to give up on me. It means a lot.

Jessica Hazlitt · Mar 02, 2021 at 03:20 AM

It's about 21 months since our last session and i still miss you and therapy. Do you ever think of me? I mean other than the couple of times i made brief contact. I'd be curious to know if you feel / felt a sense of closure or not seeings though we argreed the work was unfinished. I could have really done with having you around last couple years.

Quietmind 2 · Mar 02, 2021 at 03:25 AM

T, please reply to my emails. Non stop flashbacks are awful.

Mountaindewed · Mar 02, 2021 at 02:42 PM

I like that you smile and actually show emotion instead of being a blank slate robot. I swear it almost seems like it’s company policy at my other place that no one can show emotion. I have never in my 2 years of seeing my Pdoc seen him even crack half a smile.

LostOnTheTrail · Mar 02, 2021 at 04:12 PM

We need to pick up the thread you came to at the end of last session, about the way in which my experience has shaped my beliefs on anger. Also, I'm getting my first dose of vaccine tomorrow. We'll see how that goes.

Dear Info,

I finally agree to try EMDR again with you, a therapy I have serious difficulty with since it involves letting you get way too close physically and psychologically, as you saw last time, and now you’re losing things all over the place, so how can I rely on you in EMDR?

Dear T,
Thanks for being understanding and accepting today as I talked about transference and your new wearing of the wedding ring and such. And for your warm email reply confirming that you're OK with it all. You seem like a completely different T from a couple years ago. I have to wonder how much I influenced that, made you see things differently? Or maybe it was mostly the pandemic, though I really think things shifted after I left then returned in fall 2019. I'm glad I didn't give up on you. Don't make me regret that!
Love,

LT

Will you ever admit that you were wrong?

What the eff is happening with you? Is this all because my BF and your dad share the same country of origin?

I saw a truck yesterday and today (different companies, both I have not heard of or seen the trucks before, with old T’s name on it. It made my stomach clench up with emotion. I’ve had this happen many times before with people and it does pass. The feeling passes and then I forget. But for awhile it can be difficult to deal with. To be honest I do still like her and if I had a choice I’d stay in the area and not move and continue seeing her. But then do I really want to stay with her because she’s a good therapist for me or because I think she’s hot and I want her to constantly worry about me? New T is what I really need in a therapist. One who has resources and knowledge and experience. that will help me a lot.

SlumberKitty · Mar 03, 2021 at 05:11 PM

Dear T: You'll never know that I was angry with you because I don't plan on telling you. But I'm not angry with you anymore anyway. Kit

velcro003 · Mar 03, 2021 at 10:21 PM

Hi T. Looking forward to talking to you on Friday. I heart you.

LonesomeTonight · Mar 03, 2021 at 10:54 PM

Dear T,
Why do you still accept me? At least as of a couple years ago, this sort of thing made you very uncomfortable. Like where I'd feel like maybe I should leave and see someone else. But now you just seem very accepting. Like maybe it makes you a bit uncomfortable, but you just deal with it on your own. Instead of expressing that to me. It's very meaningful that you're still there. And very healing. That you won't reject me for this.

Maybe it's not so much that you're still there...but that the others shouldn't have left? Is that something to explore maybe? That my natural assumption is that the ones who left were correct, but the ones who stayed, there must be something wrong with them--or else they'd leave eventually, once they knew the real me, saw my needs, etc.

Love,
LT
