Contacted my therapist in a bad spot last week. She texted back to sort of say she couldn’t talk. We don’t text often, only once in a blue moon. It’s alwayd weird and kinda messes with my head somehow. I avoid it like the plague - she encourages it’s always ok to ask for a phone call.
Anyhow... she said she can’t talk for 8 hours... then she texted me a grocery list for a get together with a friend, by accident.
She quickly apologized and it’s totally fine, it happens. I’ve done something like that before. But kinda felt bad.
I texted her back to say how bad things were, not really sure what I wanted anymore.
She suggested a coping tool, which is good...
Here I am a few days later, struggling to get through. Things are bad.
Not sure if I should ask for a call again or not. It’s the weekend, I have no clue about her boundaries with any of this, other than “it’s always ok to ask.”
I’ll live if we don’t talk, and I’m not sure why I want to talk so badly. I really avoid contact between sessions because of bad experiences with my previous therapist. That old therapist pursued me and initiated a lot of contact with me between sessions trying to help resolve attachment wounds and be supportive. With this therapist, I’ve been processing through that bad experience a little, and maybe that’s all stirred up. It feels like a super compulsive desire to connect.
Not really sure what to do.
