He was full of smiles and joking. Not something I have witnessed. But I digress! Sorry about that! 
To add to my distress over the issue, he shared with me who he DREADED hearing from! 
I will address the phone issue with him but what I don't understand is how he has gotten away with it for so long? ie No one else found it disruptive, rude and difficult to return to the topic at hand? Good thing it wasn't anything too serious being discussed at the time. I fear that it won't always be the case. Has anyone else had to deal with this? |
Yes my T does that as well. She picks & chooses who she will answer for in our sessions. I could be talking about something really deep & if a specific person calls she will say excuse me. That's frustrating it makes me feel like whatever I'm talking about is not important. I fear telling her how I feel because I know whatever she says will only make me feel worse.
I also wish T would watch how she says things to me. A lot of times she says thing in a harsh way & that really upsets me. Sometimes you just have to watch how you say things to people.
One more thing that bothers me is her posture. This may be silly, but sometimes the way she sits makes me feel like she's uninterested about our session. She sits/lays on the couch like she's the client. She puts her feet up on the arm of her couch sometimes. Idk I just feel bothered by it. Can't complain though...I'm barely paying her anything so I don't dare.
