I had therapy today and we continued talking about some very difficult subjects. But as we got close to the end, my Therapist said "I want to check in with you about our last session. Did you have a hard time later, or any questions?" So I told him I was pretty embarrassed and that I wanted to know what he would do if I did call and tell him I was having more serious suicide thoughts.
He said what most of you reported: he would want to see me more, hear from me more and we would really work on these thoughts together. He told me it was totally normal to have these thoughts when you are working through old traumas and he would expect this to hang around for awhile. But I shouldn't be embarrassed to tell him anything because he wasn't going to hesitate to ask me anything. He did not say that he would call anyone else, etc. which is what I was concerned about.
He also told me that he had expected to hear from me this weekend and since I just told him I had a hard time on Friday/Saturday, I should have called. *sigh* I know, I know...
But I feel better about talking with him about all of this. If you haven't yet, I encourage you to. It will be OK.
