Hi Daisy,
> Glad to hear things are going well. My oldest is soon to move across country so I can sympathize a bit. What on earth did people do before we were so electronically connected?
I have learned, as you probably have too, that kids who don't respond to calls or email do respond to texting. Many of my friends have become rather impressive texters. Text minutes to kids are like calories eaten when you're standing up - they don't add up or even count (lol). So they don't protest when you text just to say hi, which helps to keep in touch. Texting has done a lot for my separation issues :)
> Frequency in therapy is a peculiar thing. And I think you are absolutely right with it being a tough subject to talk about. Not many people "get" that going up or down in sessions has such significance. I'm glad you found a new way that works for you.
I remember when I went from one day a week to two. It was a completely different process, much more intense, opened up entirely new areas that couldn't have been accessed otherwise. Two to one really has done the same. It's opened up new topics for discussion and we have revisited certain old ones. So it has been more than just "less," if you know what I mean.
> A few months ago, I dropped one session during the week, although we are in a state of flux about that at the moment. It was important for me to hear from my therapist that he was a bit discombobulated from it too. He said, "it felt like something was missing yesterday, all day. It threw me off." I was glad he missed me and could say it.It is always nice to have a reminder that you are part of your T's life and in his mind.
> Glad to see you here again.
:)
