I had one of those sessions not long ago too. It does hurt. I even said right at the end that I'd never expected it to end this way. I never expected I'd be having to say that. T didn't even look at me as I walked out and whispered sorry (she was already opening the door talking to her next client). Ouch!

It looks that way to me, too.

That was a bit tactless on her part. Close the door before you start thinking about the next patient, T.

(( Chopin ))

I can totally relate to that - being shocked and shutting down. This is important to recognize - so that you can be aware of it and try to work towards expressing your feelings in the moment. This was a huge lesson for me with T. Many times, I wouldn't be aware of what I was feeling until after the session....then other times, I would feel something but would be shut down, or too fearful to express it, or too unsure of what I was feeling and needed to make sense of it. My T encourages me to work towards that awareness so that I don't leave feeling awful and have to wait a week before addressing it.

I'm still working on it.

Good morning.
Chopin...so sorry about T. I hate when I feel like I wasted a session. It's painful to leave wanting a do-over.
Stopdog...doc in the box? Scary! I hope you feel better soon. Sometimes western medicine is the only alternative.
MUE ... dealing with x's is soo uncomfortable. I don't have one, but H does.

Apt...if your out there, BIG HUGS. I really miss your posts. For you I post a favorite quote from Flying Circus
Quote:
It's not pinin'! It's passed on! This parrot is no more! It has ceased to be! It's expired and gone to meet 'is maker! It's a stiff! Bereft of life, Itrests in peace! If you hadn't nailed it to the perch it'd be pushing up the daisies! It's metabolic processes are now history! It's off the twig! It's kicked the bucket, it's shuffled off it's mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisible! THIS IS AN EX-PARROT!
I am in a world of hurt today. It feels like every bone in my body is throbbing with a pulse. When it gets this bad I shut down totally. I need to focus on something else today, like Christmas Cards. I bought these gorgeous cards in Boston and I can't wait to send them out. I have to admit I spend way too much on cards, but I love high quality paper for some reason. If anyone wants a Pissah card just PM me...I would love to send a little cheer around.

I agree with this Chopin. She should've waited till you were gone to start setting that up.

Thanks, Wiki....I actually am not too uncomfortable around my ex, which may seem weird. We are able to get along pretty well most of the time.

Sorry that you're hurting so much today - but I'm glad you've been able to find something to focus on that you enjoy! And I would LOVE a Pissah card!

I think she was distracted and discombobulated to begin with and she said before I left that she really hates doing Skype and phone sessions. Not an excuse, but I really think that's what happened. This is not something T said, but something that I know...the owner of the practice forced them to start doing Skype sessions. There's a huge banner on the website's front page slider that promotes that the T's in the practice do Skype sessions. Then there is a whole subpage devoted to it. Who knows, maybe that's what was distracting her the whole time.

I called out of work today to take care of me. I have a severe tension headache that is causing light sensitivity. Everything going on has me in a tizzy and I need to calm down. I am determined to enjoy the holidays and it's our 12th anniversary Sunday (H has to work - sucks - but at least it's during the day). Tomorrow and Saturday, we were hoping to pressure wash our house (our entire street was popped by the HOA for this). H is on the HOA BOD and I'm on the compliance committee (which has gotten us out of one fine), but we plan to accept this one because we really do need to pressure wash our house. We also want to decorate with lights outside and do some Christmas shopping. I only need work a half-day tomorrow. I may visit the chiropractor after that, then help H pressure wash.

Right now, a nap is in order because the meds I took are starting to help the headache, but the side effect of drowsiness is kicking in.

Pressure washing is fun - I love cleaning when I can see a big difference. I volunteer to pressure wash the outside cages at the clinic where I volunteer, because it's like playing with the hose when I was a kid. I don't care for it as much when it's freezing cold, though.

Can this day be over now? I'm not being productive anyway, so I think I should be napping.

Good luck at the dentist, Lola!
