I'm glad she finally learned to say the right things. I think sometimes, especially in long-term therapy, our therapists think that we "know" we can call and don't remind us, because to them it is so obvious.
If I have a really bad session at the end of the week, sometimes my therapist will check in over the weekend and sometimes I will. It is comforting to know that he doesn't want me to suffer alone or maybe it is that fact that he recognizes that I am likely to still be suffering - that it doesn't just go away or receed like I imagine it does for him.
Perhaps this is another chapter in our book - "Beginnings and Endings". I think we need a working title, something like - "What We Wish You knew - Clients comment about therapy."
Or "Our View From the Couch"
