I think we are going to try a phone call check in on Sundays since this is the hardest day for me. I've been trying to imagine what in the world I'll say though.
And I think this wouldn't be such a hard thing if once-upon-a-time we hadn't done this, kind of. My therapy has grown past it, and he has had to make some changes due to a personal issue. So it DOES feel intrusive and regressive.
I asked him yesterday if he had changed his mind, did he get caught up in my grief and offer this without thinking? He said "I can take care of myself. I want you to learn how to sort out when you need to feel connected and when you really need contact. One way or another, I AM going to teach you it is OK to need me." He was so admant I had to laugh.
I gave him a pin for Halloween that says,"Well, EXCUSE ME for not anticipating your EVERY need." I said it was the perfect therapist's pin. He wore it proudly! :)
