This is a tantrum

Posted by daisym on September 6, 2005, at 20:37:50

I had a bad weekend. I handled it. I didn't call my therapist. I even canceled our call on Monday because I was feeling too vulnerable to hear his voice and get swamped with missing him.
Today there wasn't enough time to deal with stuff. At the end of the session I closed down around this huge hurt that suddenly came up. I couldn't put words to it, but I think it was finally feeling all the hurt from the weekend.
But when I was driving home I realized that part of the upset was because my therapist didn't say, "you should have called me." I wanted to (metaphorically) cry on his shoulder and have him pat my head and tell me he understood and he would make it all better. He didn't. He didn't do anything wrong either...
Isn't there a rule that they are supposed to know what we want from them, even when we don't know what we want from them?! (I'm stamping my foot in indignation, in case you missed that.)
I need some tea and sympathy.
