I don't think taking a Klonopin or something that will relax you before a session is abuse. I mean, it's prescribed to calm us down right? I have done that before, the only thing is, it seems to have a different effect on me. Instead of getting all talkative, I just completely shut down. I just listen and nod at everything my doctor says. But it might be different for you.
I'm always too embarrassed to look at the clock, I don't want him to think I'm bored or something. But, when he's not looking, I look!About your dream:
So, I think what your saying is that you feel you need to show him how much you appreciate what he's done/doing for you. I'm trying to think of a few ways you could do that. I support the idea of coming right out and telling him about the dream. Then he can analyze it. I'm actually really curious about it because I think it means something about your progress.Oh Karen, I do not get a kick out of your pain and suffering. It's just the way you express yourself just makes me laugh (in a good way). So yes, keep the troubles coming this way. :) I didn't mean to imply I was perfect (far from it really). My pdoc keeps asking me what I think would happen if I said something stupid or did something really dumb that was less than perfect. He keeps reminding me that people will still love me, etc. But I can't say I believe that 100%.
320 dollars an hour!! I thought mine was bad. His rates are all listed on the billing sheet. It's really specific too. It has time increments (sp? no, I'm not going to spell check this so you better just figure it out) listed on it with how much it costs per every 10 minutes. It seems so callous in a way. I will talk to you for 10 minutes in exchange for $xx.xx But I guess like someone else on here said, they aren't your friends. But I wish he was my friend. And somebody else said something about getting hugs from their pdoc (was that you?). I don't get hugs. We started with handshakes, but that felt too impersonal and hugs feel too intimate. So...I feel like Goldilocks, looking for that "just right" feeling. Haven't found it yet.
And BTW, nothing wrong with a crazy friend or two or three or four...
