[QUOTE=monalisasmile;3142851]She did tell me I had a choice to be happy or sad and at the moment I was choosing to be unhappy. I should explain that my t practises a lot of glasser and cbt, she is all for choice therapy and when I say I am depressed she will correct me and say, no you are depressing.l wasn't very good at it because I was crying so hard and couldnt even talk. This was the first time I couldn't even look at her for the whole session. We didn't make eye contact once.

I'm sorry that you had a tough session...she didn't answer her phone did she? ( although even if she didn't it is a huge distraction) what about the client arriving early? That shouldn't have shortened your session I would hope![/q
No she didnt answer her phone but she got a text and answered that. She how I was feeling terrible and her phone went off, she asked if it was ok to answer, I was just explaining to her how awful I felt and she wasnt listening because she was texting and I had to explain it all again. She didnt cut my session short but she was distracted the whole way through. It hurt because i really needed her to be there yesterday.
Whoa....she was texting during your session? There is no excuse for that...and for her to ask you if it is okay for her to answer the phone...how insensitive!! I would be very candid with her and let her know how those distractions impacted you...you needed your T to be attentive to you...and it seems like she made the situation worse. I hope that she realizes how inappropriate it was. Thinking of you!!
