There is such a shortage of psychiatrists here, and mine is very specialized, that he doesn't need the money he is paid for seeing me - it's paid for by our wonderful Canadian health care system. I love that money doesn't enter into my relationship with my T. All medical docs are paid for, but not psychologists, etc.
The pushing away bit *is* hurtful. But also necessary. Otherwise, I'd just sit there every other Monday for the rest of my life.
I think I need an affirmation. "I am a whole person who grows daily." That's a good one! "I am a respectful, respectable adult who deals calmly and gently with myself and others." I think I'm on a roll.
Two things I really fear are that I'm not going to continue to grow, and that I am not going to be able to cope with the crisis that arise.
Have to go now and cope with the migraine that is about to start. Dammit.
Thanks so much, Miss. I appreciate knowing I'm now alone.
