I have my first session back with my T tomorrow, I haven't seen her in four months as she's been on leave.

It's going to be awkward, and I don't really know what to talk about. We had 9 month break previously but I can't remember what it was like when we started again.

it's gonna be such a strange session...

You’re right, it probably will feel awkward. Having that expectation going into it will actually help to reduce that awkwardness. I would just focus on surface things, catching your therapist up on what’s going on. There will be more time to get to meatier subjects.

I agree with this suggestion. Just plan on a general update. Maybe writing down a few things that have gone on that you want to tell her will help, in case your mind goes blank?

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
