It was nice that she called you.
I don't know about you, but swapping my days around always kind of throws me off a bit. And with her going away shortly, it's probably important to stick to your routine. And just think, if you had of gone that day earlier, that would mean 11 days until you saw her again instead of 10.
> 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.
Wow, this is a big incentive to go. To get an answer. Don't think I could resist that one.
I get so mixed up over my sessions. eg if I have a really good one and I'm left feeling really good, I usually want to skip the next one because I don't want to ruin the good feeling. But by the same token, because I'm feeling good, I'm eager to go to my next session.
Likewise, if I have a really terrible session and feel terrible afterwards, I'm usually overly keen to go again to try and rid myself of the bad feelings. But because I'm feeling so bad, I just want to crawl in my shell and stay away from the evil nasty therapy.
Hope that all made sense. Guess I was trying to say that if your last session wasn't that flash, are the odds good that your next one will be better?
We need some sort of therapy barometer that we can check out before our sessions. "Oh, today's gonna be pretty low on the insights. Think I'll stay home instead".
If you do go, I hope you have a feel good session to tide you over her break.
