> Well, I went back to the T today, and it went REALLY well. I told him that when I left I had no intention of coming back, and that he really pissed me off. We talked a lot about that, and how sometimes it helps to get mad, and that therapy isn't always about making you feel better initially, but really getting you to examine things. He also said he was glad I did come back. I told him that I didn't like the way he was a harda** about the discipline, and that I didn't like being called irrational. He said that was just a buzzword, but he understood how it made me feel.
Good for you for telling him what you thought. And good for him for understanding.
> Then we moved on and covered a lot of stuff, mostly anxiety, frustration, and dissatisfaction. He had some really good suggestions, and some that I told him weren't good for me right now. I have an appt. to go back on the 27th. Before I left I told him that I definately see potential for the relationship, and he said he also can see where there's the potential to make an attachment - I think that's the word he used! OH NO! Not an attachment! LOL
Ha ha! You may have to go through that attachment thing after all. I know not everyone likes it, but it worked for me. It's hard going at times, but in my view it's worth it when it works out well.
> Also, left a note for my p-doc, and he Rx'd Xanax for me. Took one, will see how it works for me. I'd taken it a long time ago and hated how it made me sleepy, but I just can't stand this anxiety that I've been having.
Hmm. Sleepy versus anxious. Yeah, I think I'd go for sleepy.
> Thanks for all of your support. I know I'm exhasperating at times!
Not at all!
> Oh, and my p-doc did see that I was there for an appt. with the T, and he didn't bat an eye, but I guess he'll probably ask me about it next appt. Oh well. It's a woman's perogative, isn't it? I'll just tell him I'm going there to work on issues of indecisiveness!! LOL
That made me laugh! Ah, those indecisiveness issues...
It's great that giving him a second chance worked out so well.
