> Hi TherapyGirl, it's T. It is Wednesday about midday and I was just checking in. I did get your message, but wanted to respect your space, but do want to know where you are and what you're needing at this time. I think as you know I'm hoping we will meet again, but I will wait to hear from you about that.
>
> Thoughts?Thots, good way of saying it cuz I can't tell you what to do.
I can say what I might do if I was in a similiar situ.I think I would think that its nice she checked in w/me.
I might be summat pissed that she disn't ask if I wanted my space.....but I might interpret it as her wanting HER space more likely.
I'd figger this T and me been working together a long time, and she can't not like me and have kept seeing me alla this time.
I'd be thinking she sounds a little lost as to what to do, but wishing she did know...
I'd think, ya, she does still care.
But ya, I need my space.
So, that being said, I might write back something along the lines of...
1. I need my space
2. I DO want to see you again at some point, but not to do therapy, just I would really want to be able to touch base in a small way now and again, cuz you help to make me feel safe. Just knowing you 'out there' and you care.
3. I am now actively searching for a new T. I am getting help from some friends in doing this, but do you have anything to suggest that might help me in my search?
4. You can't be my T anymore, it hurts too much. But I thank you for supporting me all these years. I do want to meet w/you again when I am ready.Mebbe along those lines?
But thats just me.
I just know its hard, its gonna be hard TG, but it WILL get easier w/time.
Meanwhile, T hunting can occupy you.
Kinda exiting in a way, cuz who will the is new T be, what new work can you do with a fresh new T?
Could be good!
TGC, gotta run.
