I wrote you a reply to your first post but don't see it - I must have missed some button or other...
I feel like a bratty 4-year-old sometimes too. And I certainly want to be an only therapy-child. But it isn't that I don't think the love can stretch, I guess it is that I always want him to have time for me. And he doesn't - especially when I have to change my schedule. I guess that is the draw back to having an experienced therapist with a reputation - they are busy!
I like your solution of leaving a message. I'm glad it works for you. I think you found the key to a lot of this - figuring out what works for you. I know I can call or email - sometimes it is hard to even know what I want to say. There was a period of time where my therapist proposed an "experiment" - that I call him when I wanted to, just to see if it would help. It did and I started to learn that he was out there, even when I couldn't see him. But somehow, having made my way past that, it is super hard to go back there again.
Thanks for the support,
Daisy
