Couch 155: The International Operator

Very nice of her You see, she cares

*hugs* I tend to forget she cares!

Sometimes I wish T could call or text me just to say "I'm real, I do exist. I don't hate you" or something like this

I know he'll never call, because he knows I'm terrified of phone calls and NEVER answer my phone.

I wish your T texted you or left you voicemail. *hugs*

I used to be very afraid calling the hospital clinic to ask T to speak to me even though T said it's OK. I've slowly gotten better at it.

I think it would be unethical... He can't text all his clients. So he can't text me, because it would make me "special" or even his "favorite".

I know his boundaries differ from client to client... For example, he uses "tu" with me, but "vous" with most of the other clients.

Or when I asked "Do your boundaries still allow hugging?", he said "With you - yeas".

My T does different things for different clients as each one has different needs although she she's willing to offer the same things where needed to each client.

So example, among those who need to be able to write her, some email while I text. All clients who want to can write her. She doesn't reply to any of us though so that boundary is consistent across clients.

And she allows all clients to call the clinic to ask to speak to her.

And she gives each patient extra time when they need it.

Maybe it's similar for your T? As in he gives all clients the option to call and it's up to each to "claim" it as they need? And similar for texting?

I was meeting a friend for dinner tonight. We came back to my place for tea. Going to forget about it and try and get some sleep.

I am going sound like a really s h i t ty parent. At the day programs doctors review my D's psychologist revealed that my D All I could think to say is "Thats not good" I was not surprised because I think everyone has these thought every now and again. I think some of us struggle daily with them. Should I explain my reaction or wait until they ask. I don;t know how much personal information is relevant here.

Anais, I'm sorry. What a creep...not a friend. I'm glad you got yourself away.

I hope you can sleep.

Urgs. That doesn't sound like a friend at all. I'm glad you managed to go away.

Urgs. I'm sorry about your daughter. Maybe explaining it to them could help them help your daughter? I think it's great that you're trying to help her with this even though the people there are so crappy towards you ( what you experienced isn't just some worries grml)

BCM, I'm sorry your D is struggling.

I don't think you're a bad parent, or have anything to explain. Being shocked or surprised or whatever they might expect isn't going to help her anyway. Did they have anything helpful to say, or did they just drop that in your lap?

They have prescribed Prozac for her anxiety and some therapy sessions which they have cancelled nearly evry week she has been there.

Anais, I'm glad you managed to get away. That doesn't sound like a good friend. Sounds like his true colours have shown

I texted T about this. I thought if i am going to piss him off go the whole hog...I will know I have crossed the line if he ignores this text as well.

I noticed we were getting up there in posts....so

Couch 156: The Clock Strikes...

Anais i am sorry your friend did that.
