In reply to voicemail...what do i ask for?, posted by gazo on May 12, 2007, at 9:12:04
Talking about it is probably best. But you have said that what you'd like is something to listen to when you're in crisis. If that's what you need, what does he say to you in crisis that helps you?
Do you need him to tell you some healthy things you can do? Do you need him to tell you that it matters to him if you hurt yourself?
If you have the general goal in mind, the particulars can be discussed with him.
With me, when I asked him for the guided relaxation, and brought a tape recorder to session, it was terrific in all but one way. It could have been used on a tape sold to anyone. It would have helped if he used my name in it. Like "Dinah, think of someplace you feel safe." instead of "Think of someplace you feel safe."
