meet in person now taking it back?
I’ve seen my therapist completely virtually for about 2 years now. I feel very attached to her and while it’s smoothed out the last few months the transference still comes up from time to time. Recently things from my past are coming up that she wants us to process together but I’m scared and it’s really painful. I suggested we meet up in person once just to break the ice and so things don’t feel as distant so I can explain a bit of it. (We have met up one other time last year and she said we could do it again when the weather was nice)
Literally a few sessions ago she said we could check our calendars and find a date to meet. So I emailed her (she allows this) to schedule a time for this and this was part of her response;
“Unfortunately, I don't know when we could arrange a time to meet in person. I know that may feel disappointing, especially since you were hoping that format might help make this easier.”
My heart sank as I was reading it and I’m trying not to cry. Why would she say we could meet up again and now change that??!
