Some of you will be happy to know that I asked my T for a name tonight. I'm still not at all sure I want it, but I figure you can't all be wrong about this. :-) She said she would give it some thought and check availability and get back to me. I'm a little surprised she didn't have someone ready to go, just in case.
Of course, I asked for that in the last 3 seconds of the session. Earlier, she tried to talk about it and talked about how time was flying. I told her that wasn't helping. Then she said she wanted to check with me about something, that she would like to make a tape for me to go with the pictures I've requested. She asked if that would be okay and I said yes and then I started crying and I couldn't breathe. I had to tell her that I couldn't talk about it anymore.
God, this is so hard.

I wish there was some way you could avoid this loss. But at least your therapist has come around to understand what a loss it is.
I like the idea of a tape. I found some audio recordings of my therapist on the internet. His voice means so much more to me than his face.
It took a lot of courage to ask for a name. You'll have it on hand, at the very least.
I've been keeping you in my thoughts.

Thanks, Dinah. I know you understand how difficult this is. I really can't breathe when I think about it. And, of course, she's off all next week, even though we only have a few weeks left. She did tell me I could call her if I need to, though.
You're right about the voice. There is something about her voice that is more comforting to me than anything else I know. And she remembered that. So that's good, right?
