frustrated with T

[Cammy]

TW. So sorry to hear about this state of things. I agree with Jamd - sometimes the only way to make things clear about our feelings and immediate needs, and even the urgency of the situation is to write them out. Writing allows everything important to us to be included and allows us to express what we cannot when face to face with someone whose ears we feel are shut somehow. It's important your T understands perfectly what you require NOW, and why. Sometimes verbal communication is too difficult and ends up leaving out too much, or ends up with the T picking up on bits of it (before we've finished explaining everything) and then going off on useless tangents leaving our most critical concerns, issues, and needs untouched. You know how it is...boom, 50 minutes are over and you still haven't had a chance to express what you came to express. Yep, writing it out stops all this from happening to me. I even do it with my doctor now. Much easier, I know I've gotten everything in, and it's a lot less stressful than worrying IF I'll be able to communicate what I need to.
