Oh I was so looking forward to going to t today just to help get rid of all these negative thoughts from last week and I had to miss it (No control of my own) I know I can wait until next week, shoot I lived most of my life without a T and I got through it. Why is it that now that I am in therapy I feel like I need to go and make a connection. Really started stressing out when I found out I wasn't going to make it. Called and left a messge and got back a "I'll see you next week" answer. Why can't they read our minds and know that I needed a little more than that. Oh Well. I will get through this too and will work at looking at the plus not the negative. It can be so hard at times. Thanks for listening.

I'm so sorry you had to miss T today!  Can you call T back and let him/her know that you could use a little more support? It is totally normal, and actually helpful, to become attached to T. I know you can probably make it through on your own, but since T is part of your life, maybe you can take a risk and reach out for a little more support? If nothing else, we're all here for you, and before you know it next Tuesday will be here!

hmmm if T could read my mind I might be in a whole heap of trouble
 or one of those hug me jackets LOL  Missing an appt is hard - you get in the zone? to talk about stuff and then it doesnt happen - the support you knew would be there isnt because you cant get there to get it - sometimes we need more than our words can say - if you can, talking with your t might help, if not then let us support you until you're next visit - come here and vent or rant and rave!  whatever you need to do -  do something nice and comforting for yourself - take a bubble bath, eat chocolate - mmmmm chocolate! watch a comedy dvd - talk to us  looking at the positive not the negative like you said helps - take care of you P7

 ((((del12))))Im sorry you missed T today and that you didn't get the kind of connecting response you were hoping for. I would give the suggestion that you call T and ask for some kind of reassuring message to be left on your vmail...BUT I can't suggest someone else do something that I wouldn't do myself....calling T and asking for something?? eeeeek! no thanks...P7 gave lots of great ideas. If there are any artsy types of projects you can do to help you get out of your head for a bit, that would probably be good too.

I wish I had the guts to call my T and tell how I have been feeling and that I feel I need some support, but it scares me to call and interrupt my T's life when as I see it it is not my time. My first thought is I shouldn't bother my T (I think this is a common thought I have in many areas of my life) and we have never talked about connecting between sessions.
It could have been my state of mind but I didn't feel my T was open to talking when returning my call. It was a bit too "professional" and quick even though it was my session time when my T returned my call and so I know there wasn't another client there. I am probably reading way too much into it and of course with my lack of self esteem I felt rejected. I appreciate all your hugs and help. IT makes a world of difference!

it's ok - I can't call in between sessions - yesterday she said if I had trouble coping to call her - I did have trouble but I couldnt call.... same issues as you mentioned ...sigh....
 and yep it probably was you state of mind - we read things into the simplest of words because we need support at that time and are so afraid of being turned down that we dont ask for it JMO I hope things have settled for you - how are you doing?

Phoenix7 you are so right! It is so hard to take that risk to ask for support. Sounds like a good topic for my next session. I sure hope I can ask. Thanks
