Thanks for your understanding. Yes, I think itīs just basic skills when it comes to meeting with people in a role as a therapist. I can of course excuse some minor things but not when I see thereīs a pattern in being unprepared or if the focus goes to other things than starting the meeting with me when Iīve come to the facility.
It also depends on if the counselor shows understanding and if she recognizes the fact that it perhaps didnīt feel ok for me to sit there waiting for here to find another room or that she couldnīt sit properly in the chair in the room she choosed.
But she didnīt pay attention to such things but focused on her and her need to switch rooms which I per se can understand.

But in saying that - good luck to you. 🙏 |
