In reply to Are you ever afraid your therapists will die?, posted by pantt on September 4, 2004, at 16:34:29
I am sometimes afraid that my T will die, not so much so now as in the beginning. Then, I used to be terrifed when he went on vacation, that he would fall off the mountain or drown in the river or something (he fly fishes). We would talk about it, and he said that if something happened to him I should immediately call his partner, that she would know what to do to help me. Does your T have a plan for his patients if something did happen to him? Maybe you should talk to him about this. If he knew there was a plan to have someone care for you if something happened to him it might make you feel a bit better. The money is a harder issue in some ways. After all, that is how they make their living and supplying therapy for free for specific patients is a boundadry crossing. I have asked my T what would happen if I could no longer afford to see him, and says that we would work something out...not sure what that means, though.
