And I know what you mean about knowng you could reach your therapist. My therapist told me at the start of our work that if it was necessary I could call then and then. (These were the hours with no sessions with other patients or work at the hospital so immediate reaction.) That was four and a half years ago and just knowing I could call has been enough. I do have a very different relationship with my therapist from the one you have with yours, at least by the sound of it. But still, I understand that feeling of having the safety net quite well. Then again, it appears you have other strategies that work: music, rewards, etc! So do I.:) Who invented them, put them in place and found out they worked? Us. Who is involved in them? Us. It shows quite well that really, when push comes to shove, the person we can truly rely on is ourselves.
