She may be going through something but hasn't said anything to me. She told my friend who sees her that she has a busy schedule and she double booked an appointment during my friends appt time.
I could understand if T said: I'm really sorry but I'm going through a tough time right now with a family illness so I haven't been at my best lately but I am working on things and I appreciate your patience etc... but notta.
This is definitely taking too much of my energy and I need to find a T that can meet my needs and 'be there'. I'm going to come up with a list of objectives for whomever my 'new t' will be. I want to be clear about what I need from a T and what my objectives are in therapy.
Thanks for listening and helping me process all of this!  |
Sorry...I mis-remembered about the appointment time.
My T has been inconsistent, but she told me about her cancer after her first round of chemo. She was very candid and has been with me ever since, about anything serious going on in her life (i.e. chemo side effects, heart issues, severe pain, death of MIL, etc.). I appreciate that candidness, because as hectic as her life has been, she has kept up with almost every detail of my story. She just gets mixed up on times (when I told her something, when something happened, etc.).
I think it's a good idea to start making that list. You need a T that will not trigger you, whether it's current T or a new T.
So much better than leaving the client, as you said, "WTF?"
