I was getting impatient waiting for him so I called and was put right through to him. He told me he was going to call me today. He didn't get his mail yet for the day, so he didn't see my card. He said as a client I can cancel my appointments if I like and I can quit when I want. Well I said I didn't want to cancel my appointments and I don't want to quit. I said I overreacted and was stupid and I was sorry. He didn't say much other than , was that what is in the mail? I said yes. Well he told me I can still have my appointment for tommorrow if I like. I said yes, and we said goodbye. He seems normal but not cold, or warm, indifferent. Well tommorrow should be interesting. I was hopeing he would see my card before I talked to him, but the waiting was killing me. WHHHEEEWWWW! I still have my T! I am still nervous about tommorrow, it is going to feel a little awkward.

Whew. :)
I was pretty sure he would take you back without prejudice, but it's nice to get the worrying over, isn't it?

You sound so much like me......
I'm glad you called and you don't have to worry about what's next. He was right in what he said about you can cancel or quit anytime you like. I know you're going to want to address the "I'm a good liar" line.
My T. and I always refer to these times as "grist for the mill". You will learn from it and so will your T.
I've been through this same thing plenty of times. It is a struggle at first but then I know both my T. and myself have grown from it.
Best of luck tomorrow. Let us know how it goes. I hope you can stay positive. Don't take all the blame. I know I'm good at that. How could my perfect T. make any mistakes, it must be all my fault!!!

I'm so pleased you've spoken to him and you're going to see him tomorrow!
Yeah, it might be a bit difficult, but I think it will be ultimately useful.
I'll be thinking of you!

I knew he'd take you back.
Tomorrow (whoops...today now!) will be weird and hard, no doubt.But you are a direct person, and I know you can do this. This could turn out for the better.
But I'd caution you (not that I've *quit* therapy before, but...) it could take more than one session to feel better. I think I'm the type that really builds up stuff in my mind before certain sessions, and then I have a bigger crash 'cause it all didn't get said, or go the way I fanatasized it should/would...are you maybe like that, too?
So maybe, way in the back of your mind, tell yourself it's okay if you get some understanding, reconnection and repair today, but not *all* I'm learning slowly this stuff takes as long as it takes. I hate it, but I swear it's true.
It'a VERY hard lesson for impatient-me!
I also have therapy today. I didn't quit, but in some ways I feel BOTH my T. and I have quit (a little ) on each other by not working hard and by talking around stuff. And he's taking too many notes, and forgetting to help me look at him more, like I've asked twice. And he seems a litle distracted. Nice, but not right there with me. I need him there *with* me!
So, we'll both have some stories to tell later, right? Hope they are good ones! I will pray for both of us and both our T's, if that's okay with with you. Be strong!

Thanks for the advice, I have so much to say and I have a feeling he does too. But I am going to ask him to let ME talk for once! lol But I am sure either I will chicken out, or like you said not say everything I want to. lol

Yay, he took you back! Of course he would. :)
Good luck! Keep us posted on the session. I've got my fingers crossed.
