She doesn’t help, doesn’t pay attention and is rude and doesn’t return my calls.
I️ went in there on Tuesday, and I was happy because I️ had gone down a few pounds on the scale. Her response was “you don’t look like you’ve lost weight.” I️ found that so insulting.

Then I️ had to call her about when we could meet next because I️ didn’t have my work schedule. I️ called her on Thursday afternoon and explained my hours. She did not call me back that day or Friday. The place is closed tomorrow because of MLK day. And Tuesday morning was the only day I️ was available.

I’ve had it with her and the whole clinic. My doctor thinks I’m some crazy addicti and gives me grief about prescribing me my Ativan and my therapist doesn’t pay attention and isn’t helpful.

On top of all this, they think that just because I️ work and don’t have any visble issues and am on few meds, that I’m “totally ok” and they will just ignore my concerns.

I’ve had enough and I plan to switch to a completely different place. I️ tried leaving a message for my therapist, but they forgot to turn on their answering machine or something. Because the phone just keeps ringing.

I️ just needed to vent. But does anyone have any suggestions?

Only that I agree with you. You deserve better care.

I would find a new pdoc before telling the clinic I was out of there. But that is at least partly due to the fact that there are so few pdocs in my area and they all have long waiting lists. But I would not want to run out of Ativan

It sounds like a good idea to go elsewhere.

Find someone else. Try and meet Ts until you find one you can work with. Its sad to see that there are that many unprofessional Ts out there, but don't let this bad experience discourage you.

I found the right T, and she has saved my life.
Don't give up, and dont let them tell you who or how you are.
Like you, I function amd work, but that doesnt have to mean anything. A good T will know that.

She called me back at 4:45 this afternoon. She asked if I️ could see her Friday but I️ couldn’t. Next week she’s only available Friday, but my moms having her surgery that day. Then the week after that, my mom can’t drive. So the next time I’ll be able to see her is after the 5th of Feb.

She didn’t really apologize, she sounded sad though.

I’m feeling kind of guilty, but I️ don’t think I really should.

I don't think you should feel guilty. The fact that she told you that you didn't look like you lost any weight tells me she's not only a bad therapist, but a crap person, as well. I mean, who does that??
