My therapist was weird today

She had to cancel yesterday for personal reasons. So she rescheduled for this morning. She just seemed off and kind of moody and not real involved in the session. I felt like I was being annoying or something.

I emailed her an hour after the session and I asked if everything was ok or if it was me because she seemed distracted today. She replied back with a short "I'm ok. Thanks! Have a good day."

I'm guessing she was just preoccupied with her personal issue. But this isnt like her and its kinda taken me off guard.

Yes I have had that happen to me. Just as much as they know you and your patterns you also know your t when something is off. It sucks that you have to wonder what's wrong or even think it's you. In general I mean.

Yeah, the therapist is going to have off days too, and it must be quite hard for them to find the right words to express that accurately (and positively) to clients/people without showing strain in some way. Everyone's looking at their face for the faintest sign of disapproval!

She'll be fine. Hope you're doing okay there Mountaindewed.👍

Something similar has happened to me, and my therapist was rather dismissive of my asking whether everything was OK. I know he doesn't want to make the focus on him, which I imagine is the case with your T. But it's still difficult when they act like everything is fine, but it doesn't seem to be. It feels invalidating.
