Hi all. I'd been looking forward to my session for a week when T called me this morning 40 minutes before it to cancel. He is sick with bronchitis. I said OK and "feel better" and we agreed to meet same time tomorrow.
I then proceeded to cry my eyes out because everything makes me do that right now. Not coping with disappointments, even small ones well at the moment.
Next thing I know, T has called back to see if I still want to meet. Said he'd come in sick if I wanted to. WTF??
I said, no thanks, and I'd see him tomorrow. He said he felt bad about cancelling at the last minute. I said not to worry feel better.
THEN, 15 minutes later, he calls to ask me about something we talked about in session last time and he talks to me and gives me a phone session for about 10 minutes all the while coughing his brains out. THEN, he said we will talk more tomorrow.
It was odd. I guess he must've heard something in my voice he didn't like. Either that, or he's as emotionally challenged as I am.

he cares for you. He probably waited til the last minute because he was hoping to be able to see you.
No doubt he could hear in your voice you were upset.
Our T sessions are cornerstones in our life-it's only natural to be disappointed when an app gets postponed. Try distract yourself, and believe that it really is less than 24 hours until you get to see him. And try talk about how you feel, and your reaction to the cancellation.

He sounds like a very attentive counsellor. It was thoughtful of you to just wait until tomorrow due to his illness, however, he seems to still want to help in anyway he can.
I agree with sugahorse and try to distract yourself and discuss the whole moment when you see him.

sounds like he cares about you and was worried about youi hope you have a good session tomorrow

I think he heard YOU in your voice.... the honesty of missing him. And he cares.

I'm so sorry your T is sick. That really sucks (for both of you.) I had a T that was sick for a week once (I was seeing her twice a week.) and she wanted to check and see if I was mad about her being gone. I told her that I wasn't mad because she had sounded so sick on the phone I just wanted her to get better.

My guess is that he really wanted to be there today and felt bad about having to cancel.

I think you're upset with the situation, and not necessarily him. This happened to me last month, it sucks doesn't it?

[ladyjrnlist]

I'm not upset with him at all. I just couldn't get why he kept calling me. LOL.

I gotcha

lady, i think it is so sweet that t would keep calling you over and over, like he keeps checking in with you till he's satisfied that you are okay....
