I've been in crisis mode all week (is it only Wed.?) and have seen my Therapist everyday. And will see him again tomorrow. As usual he is super gentle, supportive and helpful.
As I was getting ready to leave today, he said he wanted to let me know that "they" were going to redecorate the offices in a couple of weeks. (He has 2 offices, in different cities, which he shares with his wife, who is also a Therapist. They switch off.)I asked if he would be closing for a few days and he said no, they would do it over the weekend.
So, is this common? Let the client know that changes are afoot? Am I so fragile that he didn't think I could handle any change at all right now? Does it feel different if/when they redecorate? I want to believe I'm attached to him, not his office. But, since this is my first time in therapy, I don't know how I will feel when the office looks different.
Maybe I'm over thinking things but it made me feel like I really need to get hold of myself if he thinks changing the furniture will be upsetting for me. I mean, I KNOW I've been a basket-case lately, but still...
