well after talking to you guys about it i managed to find the courage to ask about whether i could see her weekly instead of fortnightly.
she said that things had been a little muddled because of seminars / conferences / strike action etc etc but that she was happy to see me weekly (but is off next week...)
:-)
she also said that she had checked with her supervisor and it was ok for her to see me regularly
:-)
and then i got the courage to ask if we could make a regular time too - and promised not to throw a hissy fit if she ever needed to change it. she said she was happy to do that too so now i have a regular time that she has booked in for the rest of the year!
:-)
and she asked whether i had thought about what i wanted to do with the sessions... my least favourite question... but we managed to talk about it a little. she suggested i might just want a bit of support and i said NO! i want to get better. i really want to do some proper work. and she seemed really pleased
:-)
:-)
:-)you wouldn't believe just how hard all of that was. i got really terrified about asking her. in case she was trying to squeeze me out by reducing sessions. that she didn't really want to work with me anymore. i can't believe how embarrassed / shy i get irl. sitting there with my hands over my face. horrible horrible. i wonder if i'll ever be able to look her in the face. still... get me talking first. then we can worry about that.
