I intend to explore all the options, such as social work or psychiatric nursing. I just preferred my pdoc's response when I asked him whether or not he thought I could/should be a T (it was right after T's response and I was still hurt) and he said he couldn't like to tell patients what they can't/shouldn't do.
I really need to talk to T about it, but I don't want to bring it up. I'll resent her till I do.
I trust her, more than anyone except my mom, my dad and my pdoc so I probably could go through therapy with her if I could get past this. I wish I could just pretend she didn't say it or that my passions didn't lead me to a career that could harm patients if I relapse and couldn't cope, and I'm not even in full remission right now.
I guess I should just pick up the phone and make the call to book an appointment. May I'll book them every week till I get into the evening program. Then I can say I would rather see her sooner and already have something booked.
