I met the new T. She ran late with her previous appointment and I was beginning to fume with annoyance on top of the anxiety. Then, I thought...meh, if it's important then maybe she'll run late for me too if needed?

Anyway, I wanted to tell you all...........I liked her and it was overall a good meeting. She has 20+ years experience and her speciality is trauma. She appeared open, flexible and answered questions readily. She is at the highest tier of specialist consultants for the government department that needs to approve my application for funding and treatment and for me this means I will not have to tell my 'story' more than once.....only to her, without need for further independent consultation/assessment. This is a HUGE relief, I can't even begin to tell you how much of a relief this is.

There was one moment that has left me wondering though, and I am not sure how to take it or what to do with it. It was during a discussion of boundaries, that I instigated. I asked about email contact and her boundaries. At one point her manner changed completely. She sat back from me, altered her body posture and the tone of her voice went from warm, interested and friendly to cold and business like. It was such a marked change.

Once I clarified my question, and she had stated her position, and then I re-clarified, she said that it was good to hear that I insight into good boundaries. Then she returned to her previous manner, and assured me I could definitely email in the way I wanted.

I just feel uneasy about such a huge change in manner. I can't say why, but it has stayed with me.

What do you think? Am I being too sensitive?
