Have you ever had one of THOSE sessions

As my life is falling down around me and I'm not sure I can take any more...
I came out of my therapy session and sort of went

My T has some very similar pain issues. The T's is from having polio as a child. Mine is from being born. So I was just introduced a possible new treatment for my pain issues since it helped hers. That took just under 10 min of my 45 min session.

We did talk about my mother's passing but more from an informational view rather than grieving for she knew my mother had been ill. And of course talked about how my dad was taking the loss. So let's see, that is about another 15 minutes.

Then she asked how my youngest son's father was doing. So we talked about all the testing he is going through to try and become eligible for the kidney transplant list. After 4 days of testing - proving he is cancer free, doesn't have aids, or TB or or or or. Scans for this and that etc.

Ok time's up.. .. ..
I'm sent on my way with a list of things to check on the internet.

This was one of those times when I would have gladly taken my T by the shoulders and shaken the pi** out of her.

What about me
That is why I went to the T in the first place.

I'm sorry that you were not able to get what you wanted out of your T session. That is always very frustrating. The same thing happened to me once and the next time I brought it up with my T. She was very receptive to my comments. Could you bring it up with your T next time about how you didn't find this session helpful? Good Luck.

I have had that happen to me too. I went in with issues and we spent the whole time chatting and I just followed her lead and I left feeling like my issues had gotten lost. That is so frustrating.

(((kebs)))) dear person....next time maybe if you see it going this way...say hey what about me?
Your a kind person. You deserve for it to be about you ...

I have definitely had that happen. It is so annoying. You can only try to do better next time. Just get down to brass tacks. Don't let T talk about stuff you don't want to. Sometimes the session just gets away from you...

((((((kebs)))))

sometimes my T will give way too much unwanted advice or feedback. i'm learning to interrupt at key times when i'm not done talking. other times i hang back, wondering if the things she's saying are more important than me getting stuff off my chest. idk what the solution is for you, but i agree that bringing it up with T is probably best to get the dialogue going.

Thank you all for your suggestions and support.

I was just sitting here thinking, I know people order drinks a double this or double that on the rocks.
I wonder if you can book a t session as a double with no social talk.

Ha! Ha! Ha! Froggy with a funny brain!
