So, I dreamt last night that I went to see the substitute therapist but actually walked into the office of my old therapist (in Charlotte) by mistake. She came out to get another client and when I saw her I started to go in with her and she smiled at me and sort of waved but also looked at me with this, "You know you're not here to see me" look. I was embarrassed for 'forgetting' that I wasn't there to see her, that I was there to see the substitute therapist I am supposed to see tomorrow (in Chapel Hill).
Then, of course, I woke up thinking about my old therapist and missing her terribly. The family I used to nanny for (the parents, should I say) are seeing her for marriage counseling, on my referral. (She's a licensed marriage and family therapist) The mother said she really likes her and that she's helping them a lot.
I miss her. She said something about how, at some point, if I wanted to, she would not be opposed to a 'consultation' session with me, just a session to catch up and let me tell her any news I have. Don't know how my current therapist would feel about that, and don't know that it would be a good idea, as it might cause a lot of the pain of leaving her to come back.
I really miss her. And I'm ready for my therapist to come back from vacation, even though she hasn't even been gone a week!!!
And I'm weirded out about this visit to the substitute therapist tomorrow.
Ugh.
