I am a lttle anxious about things. My T emailed me about something on Friday, I emailed her back and now just waiting for her to reply in order to clarify things.

Does anyone else get anxious when waiting for T to get back to them?

I am also meeting the parents of a disabled toddler in the morning. This toddler has Cerebral Palsy like me but she also has a brain tumour. I have been asked to meet these parents by my boss at work. I'm sure it will be ok but I can't say I'm looking forward to it, as I feel a bit sad myself at the moment!
Hi Onceweek,

I too get anxious waiting for a response from my T but found that as time went on the anxiety began to lessen. I throw an email out there and forget I do and then he responds. My T. allows me to send him an email the day I have my session so then we have a focus for our session. One time I sent and email to him, never expected him to respond (and really didn't want him to) and he did. Awkward
Hello Onceweek and welcome again! Glad to see you're posting. I assume your name reflects the fact that you see your T once a week? (I'm sharp aren't I Roll Eyes LOL and now you're going to say, no!)

I don't know anything about cerebral palsy but have a fair idea it's not something anyone would choose to have Frowner. Can I ask why your boss has asked you to meet with those parents? Is it something to do with your job, or is it because you are a sufferer and can help the parents with that?

I'm sorry you are feeling sad right now, I hope your T has replied by now Smiler.

Yes, it is awkward isn't it? Anxiety eh who'd have it? Thanks for your kindness!

Hi Lamplighter,

Yes, my boss wanted me to meet these parents due to me having the condition with a view to me befriending them.

I have just met the mother now. It was very moving! No my T has not replied yet, but I am hoping she will very soon! She always does, so don't know why I'm anxious really.

Hope you're ok!

Glad you're feeling ok about T and the email, sounds like you have a good relationship going there?

Also I hope your meetings with the parents don't become too fraught, I should think that would take its toll on you emotionally. I assume T is helping you deal with that too.

Nice to have you here posting ((((( Onceweek )))))

I have now heard from T. Yes, it has been an emotional day today, cheers for the concern!
