thanks onewomancine. I guess I should clarify that I am talking in therapy.. there arent any awkward silences.. I'm just not being as open as she wants me to be. I'm protecting myself a lot.. which I've told her. The letters/emails that were okay before were for the exact same reason... when there was something I needed to say that was too scary to say outloud, but I needed her to know. I can understand encouraging actual conversation.. in my opinion, thats always better. And we're doing a lot of that. I guess I wanted the letter to be a jumping off point, as they have been in the past. I know some therapists discourage writing/email overall, and I completely understand that. I just dont understand her changing her mind. I do plan to ask her.
I think youre right that she probably does feel quite helpless.
My old T (Laurie) called me today. It was really nice and even though she said some hard things, I feel like it gave me a tiny bit of strength, at least to get to my appt with Ginny tomorrow. I'm going to try my best.
