Hi Deneb,
I think your pdoc's office really messed up. Of course it happened during a week in which you had a lot to get off your chest. You deserve more support than this. I hope you will be able to "hold" your feelings without letting them overflow.It's hard to wait for our therapist/pdoc sometimes when things are tough, and the temptation (for me!) is to push them away. But they never really do go away. They just get covered with other crap, and I find them later when I'm not expecting it. My former T had a nice image that helps me sometimes. I wasn't sure how I would be able to transition to a new T when I moved, and what I could do to hold myself together.
She used her hands like she was wrapping a package, or folding a hankie, and put my "feelings" inside, and told me that when I was ready that I could "unwrap" them. I could hold on to them without having to deal with them at the moment-- but they weren't forgotten either.
hugs,
-Ll
