Hi DePressMe,

My T had just moved to his new office when I began seeing him. His old office was also in his house but I was not his patient then. I did know him years ago, but had sent my son to him for a brief time so the new environment didnt bother me. I think if I had to call him and I didn't hear his voice on the machine like I am accustomed to I would flip out. I would probably hang up, so you are very brave to have left any message at all.

I don't have the same relationshp with my pdoc, but I've only seen him once so that is a relationship in the making. My T is very careful to inform me of any changes in advance if possible. One day when he was sick he called me early in the morning to tell me he wasn't working that day. Actually, come to think of it he did forget to call me back to reschedule the next day but I finally called him the day after that.

Oh, we are such creatures of habit and it is so hard to change in so many ways, is't it?

Secret, I think you know how I feel about my T's chair. I finally told him how safe I felt in it and he told me he bought it with his clients in mind I would have a heart attack if it wasn't there when I walked into the room.

Oh and don't worry about the message, I would wager a guess that you were not the only one and he got plenty of them the first couple of days of his new answering system.

Cheers
