Well, I think I sort of have a life. I'm working my little patootie off these days [are we allowed to say that???] (babysitting -- kids are so good for the soul) and I have friends and I play cards, etc. etc. But I still don't quite *feel* like I have a life because I only really *think* about my T and how I wish I could be in her arms and so forth.

Anyway, I think we are very much alike in that I obsess a lot less about therapy and feel much more comfortable and secure with three sessions as opposed to two. I think I'm able to make choices about what to talk about more easily and spontaneously because I feel much less time pressure. So, I'm pretty sure it would be better for me all around to do three times a week.

I guess I really need to talk about this with my T. Here's the crazy part. I don't want to waste one of my only two sessions on this!!!!

I think your T is right in one way that it's better not to overplan the therapy. I'm also like you in that I'm a compulsiver overplanner. And I feel disappointed when I plan something to say and then it goes over less well than I'd hoped. And usually the spontaneous stuff is just more real, and therefore more enjoyable, for the listener/participant.

Falls, your support in general these days has meant a lot to me.
