The nerve!!!
Still... Mine tends to come in when sick, especially for my appointment I think. And frankly if he's going to sit there with his nose running or hacking up goodness knows what or nearly asleep from fever, I'd rather he stay home and take care of himself. So perhaps you should consider it a mixed ill wind.

The receptionist said that he said no one would want to be in the same room with him, so it sounds like he was pretty bad. Glad yours is a workhorse as far as making sure you get seen. Perhaps you could tell him you'd rather he keep his germs at home?
Thanks,

Sorry your t cancelled gardenergirl. If that were me I would probably feel let down. I always get psyched up for the t appt.

Last time he was coughing so hard that my emetophobia kicked in. I sat there most of the session thinking that if he barfed, I couldn't keep him as a therapist.
And I couldn't tell him because that would have given him an easy way to get rid of me. :)

You wouldn't cling to the leg of a barfing man?

We'll hold a therapy session for you in Open... Would that help?

Wow, talk about awful timing! I can't even imagine how difficult that must be; I think I'dve been a wreck after either one of those alone. Hope tomorrow goes well, as well as the wait until then.

Thanks sweetie,
And although I didn't post on your thread, I read your update. I can imagine you WERE nervous. I'm so glad it went well. I'm also glad your T was honest about that writing that you found. Do you feel okay about it now?Take care,

Thanks, gg. I do feel okay about it now, although I still have a few questions which I can probably ask him next week. I came to terms with the fact that I did the search in the first place eventually, and had only been concerned about what the consequences of that might be. Having my pdoc explain what happened and generally handle it very well without implying for a moment that I was bad for having searched relieved that.

Hi GG,
I'll have to try the frozen cookies. If I baked them I'd have to figure out how to turn the oven on.
I'm trying to get up the nerve to talk to my therapist tomorrow about all the bumping me around she's been doing. I'd like to know who these people are who out rank me. She's now being billed to insurance, so it's not like when I had to scrape together the money to pay her. Then again back then I had a standing appointment. Hmm.

Okay,
My T cancelled again yesterday. I rescheduled for this afternoon, but I don't have a lot of hope. And frankly, even though I really need to see him, I don't have a lot of time, as my inlaws are coming this weekend.Also, I found out last night that my cousin was admitted to a psych. unit because she was fairly delusional. Apparently she has been diagnosed with Bipolar and ADD in the past, and was abusing stimulants. Please say a prayer, light a candle, or send positive energy her way. She's a very dear girl who is very broken right now.
And send health rays towards my T....
Since inlaws will be here today for the weekend, I won't be online much. I'll try to get on to read, but posting may have to wait until MOnday or Tuesday.
Take are all and have a lovely weekend.

If your in-laws are anything like mine, therapy would be a MUCH needed thing before they arrive! Serioulsy, I am sorry your T cancelled again. He must really be ill. And I will definitely send positive energy and prayers out to the poor girl. It's wonderful that she has people in her family like you who can sympathize and not judge.
I wish you well. Bake some more cookies:)

Thanks for your well-wishes. Actually, my in-laws are great. It was very nice to see them. But after therapy on Friday (he's better, thank goodness!), I was so raw and drained, I'm afraid I wasn't very good company Friday night. Fortunately, Saturday was better. And I DID bake more cookies!
No more word on my cousin, unfortunately...
Thanks again.

While I understand your connection to your therapist and even your concern about his health, I think it might be helpful if you remember he is human and humans get sick. And, sometimes therapists have issues just like their patients. Three years ago my mother died. About six months later, my therapist's uncle died. Growing up, his uncle was essentially his father. Clearly he had to cancel and that meant more than one appointment. Yet, I was nowhere near over my own pain regarding my mother. But that is how life is sometimes.
I don't minimize the importance of your relationship with your therapist. At the same time, if you care about him you will cut him some slack when life gets tough for him.
