I had a therapy session on Thursday.
My next therapy session is tomorrow. Do any of you go to a therapy session, decide for whatever reason you can't face going back in for your next one and go back a few weeks later after that etc. I said to therapist on Friday late afternoon I wasn't sure about attending tomorrow's session but I offered to pay her regardless of whether I go tomorrow or not. I paid her for tomorrow's session on Friday evening, because I didn't want to let her down and also wanted longer to try and make a decision. I have till 11am tomorrow to make a decision. Do any of you get this push/pull with therapy where how you feel kind of threatens to make you leave. How often does this happen? Is your therapist OK with your push/pull and is she/he always happy to take you when you feel OK to go back? Therapist seemed OK with my quandry, said no problem at all, but she put 'I but I really hope to see you Hannah. She then put the attached emoji. |

Thanks! Have you ever skipped sessions or cancelled them and then gone back the next week or a few weeks later or whatever? How many times have you done this? Has your therapist minded? What's their reaction been?

I was in therapy 3 years ago and recently contacted my therapist about returning. I cancelled our first session and nearly didn't attend the new date. I'm very glad I didn't. It was good to see her again and get back into it. I need regular sessions, and I accept that now. She is OK with it and understood my ambivalence. We are talking about it too. It links to my issues.

My T would be OK with it provided I let him know and didn’t just no call no show. He would be very worried if I no called no showed.

If I am honest, I wasn't keen on your therapist's "I really hope to see you Hannah" comment, as I would have found it pressuring. My T probably would have said something like "Okay, that's not a problem. I will leave the slot open for you until [x day] in case you change your mind". In fact, that is what he has said in the past, and I have always changed my mind. |
