This has pretty much never happened before, other than for changing an appointment. She was checking up on me because she knows I'm having a really difficult time in therapy now and she knows I was ambivalent about coming to my appointment tomorrow. (It's the last thing I told her when I left my last session). She's leaving for vacation on Wednesday and wanted to make sure I came to my appointment tomorrow, so she could see me before she left.
I told her I've been really depressed so I really did intend to come. She offered to see me today since she has had some cancellations (we're in the middle of a snow storm). I said I was ok to wait - that yesterday was bad but I was better today, being back at work.
The most interesting thing she said was that there were things she really wanted to say to me about why I'm having such a difficult time in therapy now - I think related to the stage of therapy I'm in.
I think it's nice that she called, but now I can't figure out why I didn't grab at the opportunity to go see her today. I was pretty depressed yesterday, but usually it's worst when I'm at work, not better. And I am pretty bummed about not being able to see her for 10 days while she's gone.
And of course just having her call me has made my anxiety level spike a little.
