I do that. And I justify it with excuses. And granted my excuses may be warranted but I was willing to put up with them until I heard he may be leaving anyways so I don't know what's the deal.
He mentions other patients problems, without giving names, so normally it wouldn't be such an issue but the issue is he also gives examples of the person he always talks about and it just so happened after a session there was a man sitting in the waiting room waiting for my doctor who fit the description to a t, and my t got all nervous and acted funny after waving to the guy so I'm pretty sure I know it was him who t was talking about.
Not just that but he made a comment about a man who was paralyzed in an accident, he got a call durring session one day and got upset (perhaps because he was interrupted) and made some not so pleasant comments about not being able to help the guy and the guy had a wife, he had enough etc. Granted t apologized for saying that in front of me but I heard it none the less. And it seemed really harsh.
Perhaps I shouldn't be saying these things but it's just a lot of things like these, like him getting frustrated and saying g*d*it a bunch while trying to schedule appointments etc.
He's given me a lot of help, a lot of good advice, and no one is perfect, maybe I'm just reading too much into his flaws? He's not necessarily a bad person, I think he seems like a good person, but I hang on every word everyone says. My fiance isn't too fond of that but I don't believe in slips of the tongue really so I take peoples words to heart.
But it didn't seem as big a problem until these past couple of weeks so perhaps I'm just wanting to push him away before he leaves, which is what I typically do anyways... Lot to think about, thank you all greatly, and thank you Lydia for opening my eyes to that, I'll give it another chance, at lease one more time on Tuesday
