I'm glad you were able to tell your therp about your SI and was happy to see his support. I tend to communicate a lot through e-mail, especially anger because that is such a difficult emotion for me to express. I'm sure your therp will welcome your honesty and try to work on the issues you feel are important, maybe you can give him a chance. because I've had a lot of trouble communicating, I often take a written list with me to therapy and say these are the topics I need to talk about- that way the session doesn't wander and I don't have to rely on my therp to 'read my mind'. I recently had a 2 hour session with my shrink (he's pretty far away), it was very long and very difficult but we covered a lot of ground because I'm not doing that well. believe me, i was more then ready to leave :-). but i do understand feelings of rejection, and the end of therapy hour often creates those feelings. this is another topic you should really talk about to your therp so he can be more sensitive to you when your session ends.
best of luck- judy
