Does you therapist ever apologize for things that she has no control over? How do you handle it?
Sometimes my therapist will and I really don't know how to handle it. For instance, my husband will be having surgery in a couple of weeks and will be out of work for a minimum of 6 weeks but it could be up to 4 months. Having it at Christmas is hard but I am use to it. Last year he was laid off for a couple of weeks around Christmas time. The year before he had been out of work due to another injury. Unfortunately, I have gotten use to him being out of work. So this week T asked what was happening with his surgery so I updated her. Then she said "I am really sorry you are going through this" I didn't really know how to respond other than to say we will be okay and it is what it is.
She told me she knows I am use to it but she still is sorry that it is happening because it is so stressful for me..
