In reply to Should I Just Accept She's Lame??, posted by Rigby on November 11, 2004, at 12:48:12
Hi All,
Thanks so much for all the responses. I'll try and address most (hopefully!) of them here.
In terms of the way it's worked in the past, I've emailed her stuff, like dreams and thoughts and she will respond saying something like, "I look forward to discussing this next week." Not a lot but an aknowledgement. It's not really e-therapy, just a mode for me to send thoughts, etc. When I emailed her an update a few weeks ago she invited me to come back if I felt I wanted to or to just clear anything up.
I decided to reach out to her because I've got some seriously confusing things going on in my life and I *would* like a professional's help with them.
I don't think I'm super attached to this therapist at this point but I guess I do feel sort of sad that I would find her to be just so, at best, disorganized about stuff or so flakey. But having dumped my guts for three years it's hard to simply write it off. However, I'm not devastated either.
I wrote back a note that, I have to admit, was sarcastic (not like me, actually.) I said, "Thank you for the short but really thoughtful and supportive response. I guess I have the answer to my question, though."
Frankly, I don't think she'll even get the sarcasm--that's how out of it she seems to me.
I do have a name of someone highly recommended that I'm going to call. As some (most) of you have said, I probably need to move on.
