Hey guys ... can I ask a question? I'm thinking that I have these attachment issues from childhood but the trauma didn't happen until I was 18 or 19 .... so how do the two interact???? I always feel this need/pain connection ... whenever I feel like I need someone, I run .... is that from the trauma or the attachment issues??? Or both????

And by the way, my T never called me even though I asked him to in my letter ... I will go to my appointment on monday .... if nothing else to see what I can learn .... I'm curious to know why he hasn't called and have come up with several explanations that he might offer me .... 2 that I would trust (one being he didn't get the letter ... the other being that he got it but didn't open it and decided to open it when I am in session with him) ... the other scenerios .. that he was too busy, etc .... I would have a harder time trusting ... I also think even if he did save opening the letter for when we are together, that i would feel a bit put out that he didn't call to say, I got your letter but it's my policy to open them when you come in for your session and read them together.... so I'm not exactly sure how I would feel about that one either .... I was frozen with fear all day yesterday waiting for him to call .... what an asshole, huh?

But my point being, that he has to know that even if my letter WAS NOT filled with venom and had all good things in it, which it did, that I would be waiting for a response .... and I very specifically asked for a phone call in my letter ... but besides that, he has to know that if someone writes a letter they'd expect a response and by not responding he is causing emotional pain ... and it seems to me that responding would be the considerate thing to do ....
He always calls between 10 and 10:30 and now it's 10:37 ... and he's off tomorrow for the weekend so now I know he won't call today and I will have to wait to see him on Monday ... so at least I can let go of it and move on with my life today .... and for the weekend ... Halloween is coming!!! One of my favorite holidays! Happy Halloween everyone!

4. If I'm using a coupon my receipt won't show the discounted amount (It'll show $7.95). However, I understand that it will go through as $2.95 when I am billed after the 7 day trial.
