So as many of you know, I've been struggling with my T being out on sick leave for the past 5 weeks. No one knows whether she'll return this month or not. She did text her receptionist this morning and said her lungs are looking clear and she's feeling much better.
Anyway, I received a call this morning from another therapist in the clinic. When I was going to the clinic 2 or 3 times per week (prior to telehealth) this particular therapist seemed unappealing to me. She seemed to have a dull personality. I really like to smile at people and show warmth, but every time I would see her I'd smile at her and she never returned even one smile. She'd just look blank. It was weird. I finally stopped smiling at her.
So this morning she called and said she's offering to see any of M's clients to "provide support" while M. is out.
Now, this is what confused me. On the phone she sounded sweet and caring. Not like that unfriendly person I stopped smiling at.
Yesterday I had pretty much made peace with M.'s absence. I decided that I would put to use what I'm learning in therapy, which is to effectively cope with life's challenges. I was feeling good about my decision.
So now I've found the message from A., the other therapist. I'm stuck, really stuck. If I go ahead and make an appointment with her (teletherapy, UGH), what if everything just gets more complicated? Am I better off to hold my own and be patient (which I also learn from, because waiting for a resolution to a painful situation is always extremely anxiety-producing for me)- or would it be beneficial to make an appointment with A. and take the chance that I will end up feeling more confused and rabbled up?
Any ideas?
