I had a T appointment today. My last one was on March 17. Nearly 3 weeks ago. I'm supposed to be coming in every two weeks, but it seems as though every time we try to set the next appointment nothing is available. Today we were scheduling my next visit and she nearly made it three weeks from today (next available morning appointment) but I asked for a different time slot so I could come in sooner. So I see her again 2 weeks from Friday. Not much sooner, but better than a full 3 weeks I guess.
I would think that since T's see so many people every week or every other week that they would have a more 'set schedule' and be able to give a person a regular time - like every other Tuesday at 9 or something. I know that her afternoon appointments quickly fill up with kids/teens, so I'm happy to come in even first thing in the morning or around lunch time.. but for some reason she has a hard time squeezing me in every two weeks.
As a result, nearly all of our time is taken up talking about daily life stuff and what's gone on during the interim. We never really have any 'deep' discussions about anything because there isn't time. I don't mind talking about the daily life stuff, but I can just as easily call a friend about that or talk to my husband. Still, I've only been seeing her since October, so it's not like I want to just come in, sit down, and empty my head.. we're not *that* well established yet..
Anyway. Anyone else have issues with their T's schedule?
