In reply to saw T today - oh no, Friday syndrome's back!, posted by lucie lu on September 12, 2008, at 16:41:10
> Todays session was only unexceptional, nothing more really I do think he was preoccupied a bit though, which might have been a bit disappointing but no big deal, at least until I got home and got slammed with anxiety, dissociation, immobilization etc. And I have Friday Syndrome again - big time. Damn!
What are you scared of? What are your fears associated with all of this?
> For the first couple of years, once I started a 2x/week schedule, I saw my T on Mondays and Thursdays. Then our schedules changed and we had to do Tuesdays and Fridays.
How do you usually deal with change? I know that if my T had to change our time I would feel many different things.
> I keep thinking back over the session: there was that preoccupation of his, and now that I think about it, some unidentifiable, almost imperceptible twinge-y feelings I had when he talked about some things. But darned if I can figure out the trigger.
I had a very similar thing happen between me and my T just this past week. And I had an intense week, to say the least!
> And now Im just so mad at both of us, I dont want to go back next week. Except that I asked for an extra session on Monday (some stuff going on thats pretty stressful right now) and he gave me one without question. Well, maybe I got my wish 3x per week and definitely not twice.
Go back; tell him what you're experiencing. If it helps, write it out ahead of time. Write to him as if you are speaking to him. That helps me, I do it frequently. =)
Take good care,
Jay
