The Couch 115: Corduroy Pillows Are Making Headlines!

I'm sorry you're feeling bad, healed.

ok i struggled with this all yesterday and through the night. Yesterday my T told me he wasn't comfortable with being someone's only support. Last night I took this to mean that i should stop trying to be human and tell people how I feel.

Unaluna Who is being mean to you?

I'm not sure I think that's a very appropriate thing for a T to say. Surely lots of Ts are the only support for many of their clients?

(((Healed)))

Agreed. Or if your T thinks that you are relying on him/her too much, this is a subject that should be delved into gently and slowly. Whenever I worry that I am contacting my T too much, she always tells me that it is natural for me to want to reach out and make a connection when i am struggling. she knows that i don't have a lot of support outside of therapy (though it is growing, thanks to her).

I'm just not sure what to do with it. And to make it worse he stufed up my appointmets again, I think, I could be wrong my memory isnt that great lately.

I am sure I am not the only one. maybe he thinks after 4 years I should be making supports. And I am slowly.

BunYip.. For a t to say that I think is a bit inappropriate and insensitive. It is fairly. I am sorry he said that to you.

Thanks that what I thought. So I am not over-reacting. I am feeling better now,

Again I bow to the couch wisdom. I will put it aside and chalk it up to his personal issues. hopeully i can put it aside. though i did think he was making a comment on my behaviour.

Yeah...a close friend or family member could say that legitimately imo, but not someone who gets paid to be supportive.

Just to add, after that comment he said I feel I am being mean to you. Then I went off about everything he might would have touch of meanness.

To quote my T (verbatim) : "Should, schmould".

Thanks. I love how you can say exactly the right things.

He speaks Yiddish!

eep - now I remembered that I'm seeing T tomorrow morning. Pocket riders? I'm a little worried....

Make room, I'm in.

I can ride along.

What I need is an ice cream store clinic. Or pizzeria. Or starbucks.

The idea of a grocery store clinic blows my mind a little bit. So you can see a ?pharmacist in a grocery store?

My t counts the couch. He has no choice in the matter! I have international 24 hour support. good thing because he goes to bed at like 8 pm.

I have never mentioned the couch to him even though I count you guys as support.

Many grocery stores have pharmacies. But now I guess maybe they have physician assistants? They will take your temp and prescribe. Tho I've only gotten advice, nothing more.

I remember when I irst came on here I was so timid and scared of saying the wrong thing.
