back from the *t* session with news

We did not end things.


I was a nervous wreck this morning, so I took some Klonopin before my session. I went in there and said exactly what I had rehearsed, how I had given the matter a lot of thought and that I thought it might be best if we ended our relationship. I told her how it felt like she was coming across to me as being frustrated with me and if so, that I didn't want to waste her time or mine by continuing to come back if she thought we weren't going to get anywhere.


We talked about that--and many other things--and agreed to work on it. So the upshot is that now she has a better idea of where I'm coming from. Meaning that while she knows I have trust issues, I told her that I don't always tell her what I'm thinking, so sometimes she will say something and think I'm being dismissive of her suggestions when really I'm not. I agreed to take on a more active role in the sessions.


So for now at least, I will continue to go in once a week.

Communication is essential. Perhaps clearing the air is all that's needed, Laura. Now you guys are on the same page. Wishing you lots of luck! (((hugs))) jan

It sounds like this is just what you needed.
