Couch 51 - They also serve

Calling all dog people... my dog has diarrhea again. We thought it was caused by the dog being on an antibiotic but she hasn't been recently and now it has come back. This is really getting old. We have a very open floor plan but my H decided the best way to keep her in the kitchen was to block it off with chairs and furniture and she got through and made a mess in two rooms... I can not clean it up unless I want to add my own mess...the smell is too much. So my son and i went and rented an industrial carpet cleaner and it is all waiting for my H to do when he gets home. I'm up in my bedroom....

This is really really getting old. couldn't we just keep the dog on human versions of chicken and rice if that's what it takes to keep away the diarrhea? The vet wants to do an xray because even though she's been on antibiotics for a UTI (2 sessions) there is still alot of junk in her urine... now we have this again... We haven't changed her food or anything. We've been fighting this on and off again for 3 months.

I should really be doing homework or working out. However, I am thinking about going straight to bed. Most of my session today was about "the relationship". I feel positive about the session, but all of that mush is absolutely EXHAUSTING to me. I could fall asleep sitting up in this chair. But I want to wear my smaller jeans again. And my goal was to get ahead on my homework for the week. What to do?? SIgh.

Slapping T's ? Now we are talking .

I told her I did not accept her revisionist history and then she told me she was not going to argue about something that happened two years ago and that she could not remember specifics. I have notes from that day. I know what happened.

What is wrong with her? If she is in denial about the dog, what else is she in denial about? Or that could be her wily way of getting you to ask that question and then she would throw it back on you. Do I get a cookie?

Similar situation between me and Madame T. I kept notes, she didn't. But to her credit, her memory was phenomenally good. I never caught her out in a false memory.

Mr T takes notes. I find that validating. What I say is worth writing down.

History or no history, you have a right to object to the dog.

Things feel so unsettled for me right now...T today was okay, I guess.

Started shaking uncontrollably again a little while ago. Getting so tired of the renewed anxiety, sleeplessness and disturbing "flashbacks"

I'm not sure how to even wrap my head around certain things in life. Maybe I should put a trigger warning here before I say anything else... :trigger:
How can it ever make any sense when a child is terminally ill? I don't know what to do with any of it....the pain, confusion, anger, fear, sadness.....just too much. And he is now starting to understand that he isn't like the other kids, that something is wrong and he's a little bit scared, but he doesn't really know the truth.... Now I'm blubbering again...

What I object to is the woman characterizing the situation as me "thinking" she was distracted rather than her admitting she was distracted, particularly when she did admit it at the time of the incident AND that her distraction or even the dog was not actually what I was trying to talk about.

I don't understand why a T would have a dog in their room in the first place, it seems to show selfishness on their part, what if clients were allergic or scared of dogs, plus the distraction factor. Therapy is supposed to be about the client, you can't be mindful and giving your whole attention to a client when a dog has their nose in your crotch...
