I got hit with a big need for my T recently, which freaked me out, and we haven't been doing such great work recently because of it. (I've got some issues with independence... Heck, I've got a subscription... :-0 ) We talked about it a little in my next session, (and I talked to GG about it) and decided that was maybe a time to have a few extra sessions, to get through whatever was triggering it. And to explore the whole independence thing, since it is such an issue for me.
When my little event occurred -- some new flavor of anxiety attack -- I was so freaked out by it that I did call her. Mind you, I had no idea what I was asking for, and by the time she called back I was already beating myself about the head for calling. But we talked a bit about what happened for me -- both the newfangled anxiety and my reaction to having called her. And that reaction is a subject that needs to be explored further.
Of course now, since I admitted "needing" her, it's harder to get to anything in session right now. I hope that twice a week for a few weeks will help with that.
Anyway, all that is the long form of, "Been there, not fun at all, and maybe it means you would benefit from a few extra sessions?"
Good luck.
