You said cutting back on sessions wasn't really an option, but isn't it better than no support at all? Sure, it would be harder to keep the connection, but don't forget you would still be able to call and email.
I \don't think you should try to make this huge decision right now while you are so pissed off though.  |
Thanks, WikidPissah, for continuing a dialogue, to keep pushing me....cuz you're right. It's not a good idea for me to make this huge decision while I am so angry.
I do believe that it's helping me see that my financial issue is an important one that can't be ignored much longer. Bad timing for that, I guess.
I found that today, I am creating things in my own mind to help me feel worse about the situation. The thing that really upset me was that T was so impressed with the questionnaire, how it would be useful for all clients....and then closed by saying that for me and him, we've talked about most of those things and it isn't really ground-breaking....then tells me as I walked out the door that he double booked my session that day.
I worked really, REALLY hard to be totally honest and vulnerable in that questionnaire. Some things were tough to put in writing....and it was "nothing ground breaking" to him....
Then, imagining his interest in sharing the questionnaire with his clients....and developing deeper intimacy with those clients as a result.
I wish I never shared the questionnaire with him at all.
