Taking a break?

Hugs, Velcro, I'm sorry. You're not a leech.

I get why you wouldn't want to continue with phone sessions if you knew it would stay that way. I think it would be good for you to tell your T that. She may not realize what a big deal it is for you.

Again, you're not a leech. When do you meet with trauma T again? Maybe it would help to talk to her about it? Whether about T or your feelings of being too needy in general.

I'll see trauma T tomorrow. I know I should probably talk to her about this, but it veers too close to some other things I am afraid to talk about with her. But, she should know about my strong overreaction to all of this.

I really don't think it's an overreaction to be stressed out about some big changes happening with a person you have relied on for seven years. Many people in your situation would be freaking out. I also wonder whether trauma T might be able to think through helpful solutions. Sometimes when I'm upset about something, I can't strategize very well. Your trauma T might be able to point out something you can't see right now. Or maybe you could see her more often instead of seeing them both?

Thanks EM. I wasn’t going to talk to trauma T about this, or if i was i was going to describe the situation in the vaguest terms. But I’ve calmed down a little bit. My T said she said it makes sense on why I wouldn’t want to do phone sessions, she said she wouldn’t want to either.

She also said she isn’t repulsed (my word) by my big feelings of wanting to be nurtured. even though I told her that the want runs deep and holds strong.

so, we shall see. I still don’t feel great about this, mainly because of all the feelings this kicked up.
