Hello to all, He didn't hug me today. But, I had told him if he didn't hug me I wouldnt be upset and that I wasn't going to hold my breath...so I cannot get too upset. But, the session, I was expecting to be really emotional and it ended up being really laid back, and we talked a about a couple of things and it was just nice to talk. He has extended my session to an hour and a half instead of an hour because I told him I needed extra time...so that is GREAT. And, I didn't feel rushed, so I was able to relax and talk about everything on my mind, and I laughed and I felt "normal" which is something I never feel. So, instead of crying I was able to laugh, and I guess he felt like I didnt need a hug right now...which is fine. ( I still do) but I am not going to fret over it.
He usually spends time with his kids on thursdays (he is divorced) and so he has never met with me past five..and yet he has decided to do so now..so when I got out it was almost six, and his kids were standing right outside the door. I felt guilty because I dont want to take away from his time with his kids...but I also know that he wouldnt have said he would meet with me later..if he didn't want to.
So. NO HUGS :( I am hoping that one day it will happen. He knows I am starving for attention and love...
thank you for your posts to me..you are all being very kind and I need that right now in my life...there is no support in my life right now..my Therapist is IT!
