I do understand the feelings of urgency, but these things do take time. And I can understand that, on both sides. It's a difficult job to be emotionally available to people who do leave, and usually quite soon.
On a related topic, I reminded my therapist today about how he made a relaxation tape for me, and he was quite emphatic that that was a perfectly acceptable thing to ask for. That asking for a guided relaxation tape or a tape to remind you what to do in distress management was not asking for anything outside of a therapist's expectations.
So, in case you do get up the courage to ask, that's one therapist who thinks it's an entirely reasonable request.
