You and me both, Muffled! How great!
And how great you were still in town to get the call.
When you get a chance, I'd like to hear more.

Well, really, hmmmm, well.
She DID say she missed me :-) But I was just about freaking out at the time feeling awkward. It was hard to hear that she missed me. And then I said I not very good at talking cuz she said how have I been and what I been doing etc. So she said, OK then *I* will talk ! ROFL!!! It was so funny the way she said it. But anyways, she said she cared bout me (though to be honest I TOTALLY cannot 'get' THAT at all), and she said she was pretty sure I cared bout her (which I do).
I guess I kinda just bolted on her. She was just trying to stretch out sessions, but in my mind I turned that into, the terrible T word(termination), so I just didn't go back. So she says she would still like to meet w/me again to have some 'closure', and talk about some stuff.
UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
Can you imagine how AWKWARD that would be?????????????
I don't do emotions.
I don't do goodbye. Though she says its not necc goodbye, that I can still see her and she would like to see me (but I just can't possibly beleive this is a true thing).
But STILL. Ugh.
She's cutting back on her T work too. Only 2 days/wk. The rest of the time she out of town to be with her hubby who is working away.
So of course I said (or mumbled) away on the phone that I was OK.
But I'm not.
So I sent her a goofy fax where I owned up that I not so fine, but that I have learned lots and am managing myself, cuz I don't think I'll ever be perfectly well, but I need to learn to take care of myself in the way that I am.
I WROTE that I missed her too(in a roundabout way).
So i leave next Wed, she gonna be in her office Tues....
Sigh.
T
Termination.
It all sucks.
But I'm taking my zoloft...
Thanks for caring guys and putting up w/my long winded posts.

Hi, Muffled. Thanks for giving us the details of the phone call. I sense your frustration and ambivalence, but it sounds like a good call to me.
I hope you will consider staying with this T for a while longer and see where you get.
So what are the new plans for your vacation?

Muffled,
Don't terminate T. You are obviously at a growth opportunity point - not able to accept/believe that someone cares about you, misses you. Yet it feels good to you to hear from your T. Hang in there, allow yourself the fellings of warmth, fear, confusion, excitement of the relationship with a T who is desiring to understand you, help you, and care for you.
Why did I step my nose in? It IS a public message board - and, I really felt like I needed to give you my two cents!

Yeah, I'm not so good at allowing or even understanding that others could care for me...
I don't think I just gonna dissapear, I will proly see her now and again, but not in a formal way.
Thanks again for your support.
Happy babbling to you.
