I wish I did have the nerve to say something openly. I have the nerve to comment on my own therapy, but that would be too much like commenting on him (like his nose picking) and I'd have trouble making negative comments about him. It was a letter saying that the client was going to take a break from weekly therapy but hoped he/she could contact him as needed, and thanked him. I OF COURSE didn't look at the signature line. Yes, I know I shouldn't have read it, but...
I wonder if that set the tone for the rest of the session. Making me wonder why on earth I trust him, or wonder if he's really competent, or whatever. Maybe that's a bit harsh of me over what I'm sure was an oversight. But I'm trusting him to take care of me, in some ways. And it hurts those times when I discover that he's.... well, that's silly. I know he's incredibly human. I know his many and sundry flaws. I choose to find them charming.
I have no idea why I didn't cancel tomorrow. I have no real reason or wish to see him, and I could use the extra sleep and/or work time. I just don't understand me sometimes.
