> I'm sorry you had to cancel! Here's a thought. In the future, if you can't come in, could you & T do an hour-long private phone call instead of the face:face meeting? I know it's not the same at all, but it might help you get thru until the next session. Would you be interested in that?

> jenStarjenStar,
I've done a couple of phone sessions with my T in the past. It was in the pretty early stages of my therapy and for some reason, I think I would find it pretty difficult to do now. I guess over time, I've put a lot of stock in body language, mannerisms, etc. It wouldn't feel as valuable as a face to face session for me.
Plus, I've discovered that he isn't at his best on the phone. I'm not (with him, at least) either. And neither of us know how to end a conversation properly. It's all pretty awkward for us to talk on the phone.
I'll let you in on a little secret. Even if you guys don't help in the exact same way as my T does, sometimes you help as much or more. That's why I posted. :)
Thanks for listening!
Laurie
