I had a phone session last week and it was a bit of a trainwreck, LOL. I've been doing these for almost 5 years and there's never been a problem. First, her phone kept cutting out and in for about 10 minutes into the conversation and I was wondering if my jokes were falling flat because she usually laughs at anything I say that is intended to be funny. Then, during an intentional period of silence, I hear...

meeeeoooowwwwwwwwwwww

"um, is that a cat?"

[sigh] "Yep. That's a cat. And she's being VERY BAD right now because she keeps coming into my office!! Can you please hold?"

*background noise of her throwing the cat out of the room and slamming a door*

"WOWY, you know what, this session is going to be half price and I'm serious. Nothing seems to be going right so far, my phone keeps breaking and now this. Our time together is important. I have very high standards for my work and am always "set up" and ready to go."

[I couldn't stop laughing] "OK, but can the cat keep coming back in so I can get more discounts?"

the whole conversation could have had the theme from Benny Hill playing in the background. Hahahaha. I'm not holding it against her.
Thanks for this!

haha you're welcome. I think T may be one of the most honorable people I've ever met and she conducts herself with the upmost professionalism, so it was hilarious to see something go wrong
Thanks for this!

Sigh, some therapists just don't get it do they ...
the cat wasn't entering the office to try and interfere with the session; it wanted to give you some advice and now you've missed it!

Glad your T offered the discounted session and that you are laughing about it all now some of the bloopers that come up in therapy can be quite funny
