I see my T soon (finally! it's been a month!) and I'm worried. What if he's different? What if he's mad at me for calling him that one time during vacation? What if he's mad at me for emailing him too much? What if he just doesn't care about me anymore?
I'm scared. I keep picturing in my mind that when I walk in he would just hug me and let me cry, but I know that won't happen (he wouldn't hug me, at least not without me asking, and I don't know if he would or not if I asked). Please I hope so much he's the same. I know this post doesn't make any sense, but my head and emotions are a confusing mess right now. I cried myself to sleep last night because I thought he might not care about me anymore. But he will, right? I just hope he's not mad or anything.

I guess you need to use yourself as evidence. YOU didn't stop caring after a month - why would he? I think you are selling him short, although I understand your fear. I always tell my therapist I'm afraid he has had the time to step back and get "perspective" on me -- meaning he can now see how suffocating I am. He always assures me that he missed me too, and that missing someone is what happens when you are away from someone you care about.
I bet he was glad you called him. He knows how hard this was going to be for you. I hope your appointment is a good one.

sunnydays,
I'm glad your appointment has finally rolled around. It will be fine. He's not going to be upset with you because you emailed him or called. That's his job. He probably will be glad to see you and that you're o.k. and made it through the holidays. It'll be o.k. :)
I took an extended break and was soooo nervous about my first visit back. But the moment I heard my t's voice out in the hallway I calmed right down. And we picked up where we left off.
I know it trite, but don't worry, be happy. You get to see your t tomorrow and that's a good thing! :)
Regards,
happykat :)

Thanks Daisy and happykat. I know you're probably right, I'm just really nervous. I wrote him an email and he said, "Let's talk about this all tomorrow", which is a pretty typical response, but I'm still nervous. Because what if he is mad at me? Or just tired of me, or what if I did something wrong? I really am so so nervous.

It was a wonderful session. He didn't push too hard, but it wasn't too easy either where I felt like it was wasted, and it was just good to reconnect. I definitely have a warm feeling after that session. He wasn't mad at all.

Hey sunnydays,
I'm glad you had a good session! : ) The first time back after break is always a little nerve racking. But I've always found it satifying as well! I'm glad it was good! :)

happykat :)

Hi Sunnydays,
I am a class A worrier, too, usually for nothing, but that doesn't get me to stop doing it. Glad to hear that it was a good session.

I know I havent posted much up until now, but I'm so happy for you! You held on and worked so hard to get through that month, and you definitely deserved one of those warm fuzzy sessions today. I'm glad it went so well. :)
