I'm glad my obsessive need to write things out is helping you. I always worry that I'm posting too many details and everything is too long.
I think it is awesome that you've hung in there for 5 years and are making progress towards talking about things. It is hard and takes time. It sounds like you are pretty attached to your therapist.
I don't know if I could get to this open place if I only went 1x per week. I shut down in a couple of days and we have to re-establish the connection before I can go anywhere with my feelings. I think lots of people have a hard time building on things from one session to the next. I always feel indulgent and self-centered to go to therapy so much. But it seems critical to my progress and essential for trust.
Maybe you can agree to write a sentence or two each day you don't see her. And then read them to her. Like: Monday - Feeling sad today. Wishing I could hear my therapist's voice and get comfort from that. Ate chocolate ice cream. :)
You'll get there. And keep posting here. Your posts have made lots of sense to me.
Hugs,
Daisy
