I finally decided to break away from my T and nutritionist. It went as expected. My insurance was about to end and the distancing from my T and non response was getting to me. She seemed interested only the one day last week and the. We went back to the same thing. I made it more about me and told her that I decided not to attend therapy or have nutritional counseling of which I only had two sessions with her friend. I sent out an email to the nutritionist and with final words to my T. This is what I got back from my T: Ok thanks for letting me know. Good luck!
That's after 4+ years of seeing her and me telling her how much I'm struggling and my hardships right now. My nutritionist never answered of which I thought she would've. I thought she would've been more professional about it. I was polite in my email and explained that it was a me thing and that I've chosen not to attend either therapy. Some of it was expected and other parts shocking. It's tough to deal with and I feel sorry for others who go through the same. I see so much of it here. |

Hello Sarmas: Thanks for sharing your experience. Unfortunately I would have to say I am not surprised...

That might leave a person feeling unimportant. I'm sorry the endings weren't better for you.

I am so sorry. I know you have struggled and taken those struggles to your T who has resonded ....well, I am not sure she did respond,as highlighted by the email. I know folks may say that she has to respect your right and shouldn't push etc etc blah blah blah.... But it doesn't change what this is for you - rubbish.

I'm sorry...but it definitely sounds like you made the right decision. It seemed like she wasn't being attentive to you or meeting your needs. Maybe you could find someone on a sliding scale after your insurance is up?

I should've never returned after my last therapy break but I figured that I've invested so many years and I didn't want to start over. Also with my attachment issue it was hard totally pull away but as time goes on I've seen that she's just more disinterested. I'm not going to say the the whole four years was a failure but when things are upside down. now with all of the new adjustments that I need to make and issues that I have she became absent. She doesn't react to my times in need. Then I figured that her being friends with the nutritionist who knows what she told her. The nutritionist didn't even answer. It's almost as if I never existed. How does a person do that?

It must be really hard to hear such a short response after 4 years invested.
I know it would be for me. I hope there will be a better fit in therapy for you going forward. |

You're right. I keep thinking that perhaps she thinks that I might come back and she's not taking me seriously. I'm not sure and perhaps I'm wrong and this was her final answer and I won't hear from her again. I know my kids go to therapy in her establishment and usually she says her hellos to them and will have a conversation. Today they said that she just looked at them And said nothing. I've noticed that whenever I've taken a break she will try to avoid me and she will not speak to my boys. Sometimes I hopethat she would shoot me an email with a little more feedback to my last email. Just didn't expect that response after that time. I will miss her for sure though.

Quote:
![]() As for what you said in this quote, legally, if you are not her patient (whether that be permanently or for a 'break' from therapy, she is not ethically/legally/appropriately able to speak with you and/or your family members outside of the therapy room unless it's for administrative reasons such as scheduling an appointment. I don't think it's personal. If she's avoiding you, it's probably because she knows that it will difficult for both of you to pass each other by and not say anything.
