Do you think maybe all the old abandonment issues are kicking in? That's what happens with me. And with me, there are layers and layers of abandonment issues and resulting fears.
It may feel odd to talk to your therapist about how you feel about her, but that's the way I managed to uncover the core abandonment issues that fueled a lot of my anxiety and depression.
If you have a therapist who likes to work with the therapeutic relationship and the feelings that arise withing it, she'll understand why it's important to talk about it. If your therapist is purely CBT in orientation, you might still be able to bring it up in a CBT context. It depends a *lot* on your therapist.
My therapist generally prefers I call, although he also prefers to work in another session rather than have important discussions on the phone.
