I feel like such a child. At my last session before Christmas break, I gave my therapist a lovely Christmas card with a 2 page letter basically telling him how much I appreciated him, etc. It took me two weeks to write this so it sounded just so! I quoted Dickens, the whole nine yards. And I had a feeling, just a little feeling, that that card and letter would end up in my file somehow.
So I come back from Xmas, no mention of the card or letter. Fine. That seems to be Bean's MO. I accept that. But of course I have visions of the card on his mantle or bedside table (gasp!) and I have visions of him reading the letter when he has had a bad day and having the letter lifet his spirits, etc.
I hang up my coat today and for some reason he brought in my whole file to our session. Usually, it's juat a pad of paper. And out of the corner of my eye, as I'm hanging up my coat, I see the CARD IN MY FILE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I know I must be overreacting. I mentioned previously that the letter I enclosed probably sounded like a total love letter. I guess I'm just upset that he is treating this card I gave him as something somehow clinical.
Please, anyone, how can I deal with his? I am so prone to overreacting. ANy rational thoughts right now would be helpful!
