Yah it can be very hard to not have regularly scheduled sessions. She is very well known and constantly busy. She always has a lot of projects going on. i am actually here only “regular” client. We try to get together every week. Other people might get to talk only every few months. We have had fights about it. But, she is always worth the wait. Since i posted that I have gone to see her three or four more times. Both of us have insane schedules so we meet at odd hours (like 11:00 on a saturday night, etc.) but we do what we can.

I asked if I could set up our teletherapy meeting on Zoom instead of using her HIPAA compliant platform. I asked because the video and sound quality for the latter are horrific. Part of it is my internet connection, but when I go to class or use zoom for other stuff, the quality is 100x better. She said no.
Like comrademoomoo, I generally avoid asking anything of anyone. I know my reaction to a no will be irrational so I try not to put myself in that position. The therapist doesn't understand this - she loves to say the worst thing such and such a person can do is say no. __________________ Life is hard. Then you die.

It’s not that your reaction is irrational, it’s that they are not careful enough, not cognizant enough, not sensitive enough about their impact on our lives. As an aside, it seems completely unfair for a therapist to insist on a platform that delivers poor service to a client when better alternatives are within easy reach. Security is important of course but is either of you subject to international espionage? Come on! |

Finally at the very end of therapy she said something spectacularly smug and misguided about it, to the effect of if she had given it to me, it would have just shut up the part that wanted it thereby short-circuiting The Work. Or some absolutely specious garbage like that. It felt like a slap. Essentially the whole stupid issue had driven a wedge between us (of which she may have been unaware) and I felt less safe being vulnerable and there’s all kinds of things I could never say because of it. |
