I went to therapy Fri. and the session was very hard (working on childhood stuff) and I dissociated which is very embarrassing. I don't want to go in tomm. as I don't want to talk and I don't even want to know good or bad what the T says. This T is very nice but doesn't get me yet...its been six months and with all I have I can't expect him to. I want to call and leave a message tonight so I don't have to talk to anyone.
What do you think?

I think this almost every Sunday night...I don't want to go back and open up again. I just got it closed down, etc. etc.
You should go. At this late date, you will have to pay for it anyway. Besides, he is never going to get you if you don't go after the hard sessions. You can just process the last session...tell him you feel embarressed for floating away. You'll be surprised how common this is.
Go, go, go...
then post, post post...
Really. I hope it goes well. Let me know

Hi Speaker,
I tend to agree with Daisy, but I also think that you know best. If you really think it'll be better for you to get some distance before you go back, then maybe that is the right thing. But listen to your whole true feelings, not just your fear or embarrassment. Is there any part that wants to keep working through this, or thinks it might be productive, or wants reassurance or support or anything your T might be able to give? It might be a really good session, because you do have some rare and important things to talk about (your dissociation).
Oh, I know how hard it is sometimes. Here's a hug for courage, either way. ((((Speaker))))
