It may be hard (and it is!) but it sounds as if you have a very good therapist to help you along the way. In fact, he sounds an awful lot like mine. :) You don't happen to live.... No. I don't want to know. :P I like the other clients a lot better when I don't know them. lol.
By the way, I used to have time delayed reactions all the time. At the beginning it might take weeks to figure out what I was feeling. It was a major step forward when I could call and tell him within a day. And now I can almost always tell him at the moment.
I know how hard it is to worry about "bothering" your therapist. But mine always told me he'd rather hear about what I was feeling right away rather than letting it stew. And he always tells me to call him when I need to. And I do. He says I've never come close to stepping over the boundaries of what is appropriate. So feel comfortable trusting your therapist to take care of himself.
