My T is amazing and I know that she really cares. It's just that everyone working there hates me and I am not exaggerating this. I have heard them say stuff about me a couple of times now and sometimes I feel that maybe they're right, maybe I don't deserve to be in therapy and maybe I should just stop going to see my T. I don't know if this is just a misunderstanding because I don't even know them. It's not that I want to stop seeing my T but it's really hard to just go there when everyone else there doesn't want you there and think you're wasting their time. What should I do....

Do you mean the office staff? If it were me, I would talk to the therapist about hearing them say stuff about you. It does not really matter what they think about it and I don't see how they get a vote in whether you see the therapist. That would seem to me to be between the two of you - not the others in the therapist's office.

I don't see how it is anyone else's business about you being in therapy besides you and your T! Is this office staff that is talking about you or people coming in to see your T as well?? Regardless of who it is it is still not their place in any way to judge you and talk about you. Truthfully I hope you can find a way to bring up what is being said about you and by whom...especially if it is office staff...your T should know.
Don't let them get to you...I know it is hard to do because I have struggled with that and still do...but just realize that no one else outside of your T's office knows you and what you are going through. They have no right to make you feel guilty for you choosing to work on you...it seems like they need to take the time they are choosing to gossip about others and work on themselves instead. |

It's the office staff. I think it's because I'm claiming my sessions from insurance and I don't know if that is giving them more work. I don't know how to tell my T because she works with them and I don't want her to think I'm being too sensitive. They left the door open so I would hear what they said. I don't know if it's because I am going in more often now but I didn't ask for more sessions, my T suggested it. Why can't people just leave me alone?

I hope your T will understand how sensitive you are.
I hope you will feel free to talk about this.

It isn't being overly sensitive to be bothered by negative comments people make about you.
Tell your T. It is good for you to tell her, both for you, and for her to know that the staff are behaving unprofessionally. If I worked there I'd want to know. Imagine if this has happened to others and they have left, and your T didn't know why. |

"I have heard them say stuff about me a couple of times"
This is really rude from their part - not to mention how it is not professional *at all*. I would take it up with your T if you do not feel up to confronting them. It is none of their business whether you want to be in therapy or not and/or how often you go. If you can afford to go to T, if you feel you are getting something out of therapy, then by all means keep going. But my advice would be not to let them get away with bad-mouthing clients. This is simply not acceptable. |

You're not being too sensitive. No way. They are being completely unprofessional and your T needs to know.
Please don't let these awful people rob you of your T. |
