OK so I was nervous to begin with because this was the last session for two weeks. I lost track of time and left my house 15 minutes late. I was frantic. I drove like a zillion mph to get there and got stuck in traffic getting off the parkway. I arrived for my session about 13 minutes late. I AM NEVER LATE FOR THERAPY!!!

I walked in the door and T said, "You're never late." I started blabbing about how I lost track of time, left late, and got stuck in traffic.

I was clearly nervous and T reminded me to breathe and we breathed together for a minute. I commented that I had come in like a tornado.

Then I began to tell him how I have been having such a hard time with my new medications and I how I spoke with Pdoc, who was reducing the dosage.

With that, I started getting this head rush (one of the effects I've been experiencing) and all of a sudden I felt like my face was on fire. I said to T, "Is my face red?" He nods. I pulled my sweater off because luckily I had on a short sleeve t-shirt under it. I said I needed a glass of water. I went out to the waiting room,(where the water cooler is) came back in with my water and proceeded to SPILL IT ALL OVER T'S SIDE TABLE. (yes, the table right next to his chair).

By then I was really rattled. I started muttering, "OMG OMG OMG" and started grabbing tissues and blotting up the water. T sent me to get another drink and said he would clean up. He said not to worry.

When I came back in I sat on the couch and said, "I need a seat belt." I said to T, "You've never seen me this rattled have you?" I was not feeling well at all and he looked at me and said, "you're ok."

For the remainder of the session we just chatted. He told me about his plans for the holiday with his family, the parties he would go to, the presents he had to buy. I told him about the party I was planning and who I invited. I said, "this is the weirdest session." He said, "I don't want to stir anything up because we will be having a break and you are not feeling well. I thought I would use this time just to connect with you and share some of my life." sigh

When the session was over I gave him some cookies I had baked.

Shessh, therapy is never what I expect. NEVER.

YOUR AVATAR!!!! OMG LOL. I just love your T. And I love this story. I hope you are calmer today though. Maybe stay away from all liquids for awhile.

It is a good (sad/scary) story and I love your T's response to just "talk" like normal people.

I love your T's ability to step back for you. I could see myself doing something similar and I love your Avatar...

where do I get one of these?

Hi Almeda,

I simply google whatever picture I want and then I usually copy something that strikes me under google images. Then I paste the URL into the spot on My Profile.

Peace.

This story of your session made me giggle out loud I understand what you mean by the session never being what you expected. I feel exactly the same. I guess that's part of the "fun". I have to agree....the water-cooler is a real eye-catcher.

My thoughts exactly Thank you for sharing sister.

Sister,
Thanks for cheering me up! LOL You're right, sessions are never what you expect!

that is really sweet... talking, connecting, not stirring anything up. Nice.

NOW your avatar makes sense to me... i saw it on another thread and thought what the hey?

but... for all you avatar affectionado's there is something important. You should always, always save the image to your own computer and then upload it to PC. All you have to do is right click on the image you like and it will say "save image as" or something like that. The you choose upload and browse on PC. If you are not doing it this way then you are stealing bandwidth and costing someone else money... someone like me. i make my living off the internet and i allow people to take images but not to link directly to them.

Just seeing if I can copy and paste a picture onto my posts like you suggested. Probably won't get it, but I'll try. Alright I did it, looks like I finally got it right. Thanks Sister. Can I add this to my signature as well and where do I find those lovely pictures of flowers that write your name so cool?
