Do you think it would be inappropriate for me to talk to my therapist about issues I've been having with her receptionist? I'm not sure if my feelings are grounded in reality, but they're really upsetting me, and I feel torn up and anxious about the fact that I want to tell her about them but yet I feel like I can't. It seems rude and petty to me to say anything to her, but for some reason I am desperate to do so.

I don't see anything wrong with talking to her about the receptionist. You shouldn't have to feel that way when dealing with her- go ahead and talk to your therapist- it will put your mind at ease... Good luck!!

I did and as it turns out they were looking for an excuse to fire her ***! Best thing ever!

You can tell your therapist anything you need to.

I had to talk to my therapist about another therapist that shared her office. I felt she was disclosing too much information in the lobby area. As a therapist, this struck me to my core. I'm not sure T did much with it... But at least I talked about it...

Yeah, go for it.

I think part of going to see T, is being able to recognise our feelings and talk about them - so I think this sounds like a useful thing to share. Let us know how you get on. Soup

You know, things that make us upset or unhappy, we have a right to speak out.

I will say that if this were a sales clerk or something, then perhaps letting it slide might be the best thing, but these are people that you are going to have a sustained and continuing interaction with. It merits consideration by all parties involved.

Have you mentioned anything to the receptionists about their behavior? That clearly is not your place at all, but sometimes just adopting a very understanding and kind approach to a problem can turn it around pretty quickly. Maybe they hate their jobs and are just looking to quit!

i think telling your T about how this receptionist is making you feel is a good thing and a good way of taking care of you.things cant change if you dont let her know they need changing (wow did i just say this)
