In reply to I guess he's not perfect after all., posted by Penny on February 16, 2004, at 13:47:24
Penny, my therapist and I have the occasional awful session. And it usually just means that he was tired and not at his best. By the next session I'm usually ready to bite his head off, and he's back to normal. Because he is back to normal.
Even perfect pdocs get tired or get headaches or whatever.
Take a deep breath and remember all the times he really did show he cares about you. If you really are having a hard time doing that, I'll look through the archives for you. :) Your therapist has said and done things that mine wouldn't do or say in a million years.
Perhaps that makes it *more* difficult when you aren't in perfect attunement.
Do you know that even my absolutely perfect son has evenings where he's cranky and quite unreasonable?
And if it makes you feel any better, remember that your pdoc has never told you that you've seen too much of each other like my therapist did last Friday. :) And I still love him.
