i just started seeing this T when i got out of the hospital (just over a month ago, so i've seen her a total of four times). but i grew rather attached to her. i've never known what to talk about in therapy sessions... so we often just chatted about the things that bothered me rather than working on specific issues, and i've found that's helped a lot. she's given me some great insight that the people i associate with in the outside world just never would have offered. maybe that's what therapy is. i dont' know. i'm new to all of this. anyhow, today was our last session, and i was more sad about it than i realised.
she suggested that i call a physical therapist office when i arrive in my finally destination (not sure what it is yet) because PT's know all the good and bad doc's in any area. this is good advice for everyone! she also suggested because i love photography that i make a scrap book of the photos i take on my cross country trip and focus on the fact that i'm taking a major trip rather than the fact that i'm going back to my parents. while it's my final destination, i'm still taking a major (and hopefully fun) trip to get there. i love how she puts spins on things for me. i think it's a great idea.
in the end, she made sure i knew what kind of supports i had, and even if i couldn't come out and tell them when i was hurting, sometimes just hearing their voices would help me when i called them. she also reassured me that suicide hotlines will never judge me when i call if i need to call, and to just dial and blurt out what i need to blurt out. then she told me i was too good of a person to take the easy way out. i almost started crying (thinking about it makes me teary now) because of just the way she said it, and the look on her face.
i'm really glad i got to meet with someone like her. she was only a student, too. she's going to be a phenomenal therapist when she graduates. it's nice to know that the world is a better place with people like her helping others. and having faith in people like me.

I think it went very well. She sounds like she's already a great therapist, I'm glad you were able to see her even if it was for a short time.
I hope your trip is fantastic, you deserve it.
