So I missed my appointment last week and then this text exchange happened yesterday.
T: InTherapy, are you planning on coming in for a session this week?
Me: I wasn't. Your last txt said if I wanted to schedule something to let you know. I took that to mean we had no more appointments until/unless I scheduled one.
T: Ok. I wanted to double check so I didn't give a time slot away that you were planning on using. As you aren't, I will likely fill it. Have a good week.
Me: I don't think I'll be coming back
T: I would recommend you continue therapy. Please feel free to call the main number for a new counselor if you choose. I can also provide you with referrals if you would like.
Me: I don't think its doing me any good. I almost always leave feeling worse than when I came in, and I'm never ever going to write down all the bad stuff and read it.
T: I know it is hard. It is part of the process that it gets worse before it gets better, but it can get better. it takes time and a lot of hard work. i believe you can do it.
Me: Did you already give away my slot?
T: The (hour) on (day) is still open.
Me: Well I guess I'll see you at (hour)
T: I look forward to it. See you in a couple days.
Also, I was really really high when this exchange happened. Two things that strike me: one, when she was giving me encouragement and telling me that she believes in me, that's the only time she dropped proper capitalization and punctuation. For me, that would usually mean I'm really involved in what I'm saying and not worrying about the rules/grammar. I wonder if its the same for her?
The other thing I noticed, it seems weird that she said she's looking forward to it. Not just see you in a couple days, but looking forward to it.
I'm SO over analyzing, I know.
