((((Dinah))))
I'm sorry things are so rough for you right now. What would be so bad about calling your T? Every session can't be extra productive - sometimes we have to just sit and 'be' in therapy. And that is most certainly OKAY. It's GOOD in fact. No, it wouldn't be helpful (or not as helpful) if that's all you ever did in your sessions. But it's not all you ever do in your sessions. You do so much work, and right now things are tough for you outside of that room, so I can completely understand how crying and sitting quietly feeling safe for fifty minutes was not just a good thing but a necessary thing for you.
And today it's okay for you to call your T. And while it's important for you to spend time tackling your work (not as though you haven't been anyway), it's also important for you to nurture yourself and get help during this difficult time.
Many hugs to you, Dinah. I hope things ease up for you soon.
