Krazibean, I would go! Just going helps you connect. Even if you don't get into deep stuff. Also my T would be mad if I called and cancelled just because I didn't feel like going. She say's we can talk about why you don't feel like comming. You like your T so go!

my t always tells me this to help me decide:

if i am green and/or dying then stay home.
if i am just not wanting to come because i feel lazy or don't want to talk then i should come and we'll both be lazy together.

maybe its guilt or something but i always end up going except for those times that i was green or actually dying.
Thanks for this!

Did you go, krazibean? How did it go?

I think it is really inconsiderate to cancel an appointment with only one hour's notice, so maybe if this happens again, even if you don't want to go, just do it out of respect for your T and her time. Plus, if you cancel with so little notice, don't you have to pay for the session anyway? It's 24 hours notice with my T. That always helps keep me going because, if nothing else, I like to get good value for my money.

i did end up going and we ended up having a very connected talk. i hate leaving her when i feel that connected, so that part was hard. She makes me feel so safe and comforted and i wish i had that outside of session. sigh, i just have to wait until tuesday.

KBean, I would go, and tell T I need her to do the talking at first. It has worked for us in the past...
