Hi couch,

I know that I don’t post anymore. But I need help thinking through things with t. I have been with him for 7 or 8 years now. I am down to either every two weeks or once a month. In general I am doing well, anxiety has crept back up, but other than that I have been pretty stable.

T and I have a great relationship. The one downfall is his being late issues. Which I mostly have gotten over, but more than that he is really just too busy. His practice has two locations that he sees clients at, he teaches at a local college, he is on staff at a local institution for mentally handicapped. He also has to hold spots open for psychological assessments for police officers, parental assessments for cps. He is also one of the bosses in the practice he works at. So it’s a lot. Because of those things he has rather limited scheduling, and I think has to ask to push appointments later or earlier or cancel altogether because of emergencies, or issues with his other jobs. That is where the problem is.. I need consistency, I need a t that I know will be there and 98% of the time I know he is sitting in his office seeing clients. Not running around town from one job to another. I understand it is personal preference for him, it’s what he wants to do with his professional life. However, I am starting to feel like I need something different. Which really guts me because the relationship is good. I like him, he is a good therapist. It’s just he is not super reliable. Would you get rid of a therapist because is this? I n or this is highly subjective but I need to her different perspectives.
