WOW!!! Cool session! Thanks for sharing that. I am starting to see why you have stayed w/that T for so long, she sounds nice :)
And what a COOL idea to meet outside the office. It can be kinda transitional for you.
If you are worried about getting upset, can you walk somewhewre where there are not at ton of people? Then if you need to sit and cry some, then you can.
This IS a transitional time for you.
The relationship is changing.
I really like the idea of outside the office sessions to mark that.
I hope you can be clearly told as to what T thinks suitable contact might be? I mean specific. Like 1x/mo? or 1x/wk? What sort of response will she give? Very brief? Will she respond always right away, or may there sometimes be delays cuz she is away and you don't know it? It save ALOT of grief if you can be ultra clear about it.
It is hard. Really hard. But you will be OK.
I have taken a DBT module(mindfulness?) and a part one on anxiety or something(got the boot...). But they seemed very good. Not allus easy to find DBT programs. Usu you can just take a module here and there. Or a T can work thru the book w/you. Its good stuff.
Sorry I haven't had time to look up T sites, but perhaps you can try and source some DBT programs and find a T that way. CBT oriented T's are good. Mine is kinda more psychodynamic.
My oldT was warm'n'fuzzy, my present T is not.
I have had asst T's over the years, all different.
Ya pretty much just goto sort thru and find the best fit for you.
Take care,
M
