I am sitting here reading my five page fax to T that I just had to send after last week's session.

I cannot believe I sent this darn thing. Ugh. Pouring my heart out on paper is fine, why couldn't I have just brought it with me this week?

Good lord his assistant reads the faxes how mortifying is this?

I don't know why I continue to do this sort of stuff. I rarely will call or fax but now that I have I just feel so much humiliation and guilt that I bothered T.

I feel so exposed and vulnerable when I do this which is what he wants from me but not over the darn fax!!!!!!!!!!!

How do I go there tomorrow and smile at Mr. Assistant?? I need to find a sandbox.

I want to bury my head in the sand...

I use to write mine good old letters and mail them and we didn't discuss anything unless I brought it up. I could imagine her reading them and that was enough :-)

But my T didn't have an assistant or secretary. So sorry about you :-) Seriously, not really talking to you personally each week, Mr. Assistant is probably just going to glance at your fax and hand it on, not think anything extensive at all about it, kind of like one would reading about a character in a book?

Almeda,

Why does his assistant read the faxes? He should not be reading these.

Can you put a cover sheet that says "Confidential" on it?

I did say confidential but it isn't kind of exposed and not in an envelope. okay, maybe he didn't read it? I wish...

LOL fluff

almeda24fan, I can appreciate your distress. I go through the same thing anytime I email my T anything. I think the office manager gets, prints, and sorts her emails. I always wonder how nosy she is? Luckily I have very little interaction with her.

I like to ASSUME that the office people get so much stuff to file that they get sick of looking at it. Assume that he would much rather surf the Internet or go to lunch than read your 5-pages of disclosures.

I faxed because I was afraid to send it through the mail for some reason. I do interact with the Office Manager a lot. He's a fun guy.

Now tonight I'm praying he isn't there at 7:00pm. Sometimes he isn't...please let that be tonight!

Thanks for the kind words everyone.
