HI LG,

I am sorry you are feeling so down. I've often felt like blowing off therapy but haven't yet with this therapist - although definitely with others.

I know you have been struggling with your T's and difficult transference issues. Maybe you just needed a break. Sometimes it's more than our bodies can handle and we just have to respect that and slow down a little. I don't see anything wrong with that.

I have heard of them charging you for not showing up but not terminating unless it happens a lot.

((((LG)))
Never mind how your T feels, are you alright? It sounds like you are in a bad place and i am worried about you. How are you doing?

I think your feelings are totally fine, LG. My opinion might be biased because I do what you did too and I don’t think it’s a big deal. It hasn’t happened in awhile, but sometimes I just dont feel like getting out of bed, getting ready, and driving to the city. My appointments are in the morning and sometimes i'm just lazy. I would normally text him whenever i woke up. T has never texted or called me though when I've missed a session, I think he just assumes I'll call. Hugs, Mac

I've blown off T but always called. I would get charged if I didn;t let them know.

'feel like' versus 'doing'...yes, every session 'cept one or two with dbt. but i don't, but i tell myself each time going in that i can quit.

pa? never, in fact today he cancelled because of the weather, and my inner child felt so hurt, but, i knew the weather was iffy. and the last thing i would want is him to be hurt. so, big jill understands.

but...

i would never have the urge to skip that, or really, any other t i have had.

too, i would hate to have to pay for a skipped appointment. too, i am so paranoid of abandonment that i could not give them any reason to terminate me...
