I was walking out of my last session, and my T said that she wanted to talk about "something important." I have no idea what this is. She also said I was "losing it." However, that was during the session, and the "something important" was implied to be something not having to do with this session. I'm concerned. I mean if it was that important, wouldn't she have mentioned it the session?

I know she thinks I'm nuts, but I don't care. I just want to quit picking up loose diagnoses. I just don't want to be committed. I've come very close to this, and I'm afraid. I don't think this what this is, but what else is this. She said I was "insane" in the politesse way possible. What the h is she getting at?

What do you guys think? Should I be worried?

So when are you supposed to discuss this "something important?" Good grief, to be left hanging like that in and of itself would be enough to make someone insane!

I would think that if she were seriously concerned to the point where she wanted you committed, she would not wait another week (or however long til your next session) to discuss it with you.

What is her in between session contact policy? I'd be emailing or calling her telling her it wasn't fair to drop that kind of a bomb on you at the end of a session and to let you know what it's at least pertaining to. Tell her you simply cannot wait or you will indeed go insane. I mean, if that will really drive you insane like it would me!

I really don't think you have anything to worry about in all honesty. But if it's going to eat at you, you should email or call her.

Good luck; wishing you well! Let us know what happens here!!

I would hate that. If it's important, she should have set aside time to talk about it right then. Can you follow up with an email or phone call?

I agree--she shouldn't drop something like that at the end! I wonder if it could be something about her, like she's changing offices or retiring or something like that?

I agree on the calling/e-mailing if you can, too.

Umm if T's don't like it when clients do the doorknob confession thing, T's MOST definitely shouldn't! That would FREAK me out! Also, what kind of T tells a client they are "insane?!"

That makes me angry for you. Also to tell you that you are "losing it?" That doesn't seem very nice or therapeutic.

I would def try and contact her in some way so you can put your mind at ease. That is not fair for her to say something like that at the end of a session. If its something important than it needs to be said when you still have time.

[stopchewinggum]

Yeah, there is no in between sessions contact allowed. I just don't know what it is. I mean she should at least have told me the topic. Ugh, I just hope it's nothing bad, but it probably is. Sigh. I got the impression it was one of those "we need to talk" conversations. Next time I should do a door knob confession just for giggles.

Talk about a doorknob confession or a last minute bomb. Clients are supposed to do that, not therapists!
