Pretty fantastic yesterday. I recently ended my sessions with my T and my nutritionist due to a few factors. I was upset with my Ts response after seeing her for so long. It felt as if I was just another number. I get that it's a business but I just needed to sit with it which is tough. At that point I never heard from the dietitian but I've only seen here twice and so although it was a bit disappointing I was able to deal with that better than the response given by my T. Then yesterday my nutritionist responded reassuring me that she will be there when I'm ready to resume. I sent her a "thanks!" And she responded with : And notice I said for “when” you’re ready…not “if.” I don’t give up on people. I believe we all have the power within us to change…

Hoping you tap into that power to change sooner vs. later…

That made such a difference. I expected that more from my T. Previously if I decide led to cancel or take a break she would try to talk me out of it or talk me through it. I've noticed that she was different that past two times. In one episode I was talking to my kids T who's fabulous. I've signed papers for my T and their T to talk. It came up that I was going to cancel a session and my kids T was upset and said that she was going to inform my T. She brought up the subject to my T and my T looked bothered and annoyed by what she was saying. She told my children's T that I'm an adult and I can do as I please. My kids T said "really" and looked at her oddly. Those are two different styles. Overall I was glad that my nutritionist responded but still trying get over the other part.

The therapist you were seeing seems really cold and unprofessional with you. I think you're much better off not seeing her.

That's awesome! Isn't it amazing what a difference a kind response to ending can make in how you view the other person, and how you feel moving forward? It's a shame that we can't see how therapists and the like will behave when we end it until we actually end it!

That's so true!!!!!! I couldn't agree with you more. It felt so good to here from my nutritionist and it gives you a different perspective. Just a few words make such a difference.
