In reply to hahaha... she didnt call, posted by wishingstar on June 29, 2006, at 20:40:27
So sorry, wishingstar. That's just not right. She should have called, even more so because you were needing it more--
My T checks messages in the evening and calls back, as soon as he can, esp. if it's an emergency. Not just for me--I mean for any patient.
Maybe expectations are different here in NYC, because there are so many analysts, and people take a certain intensity and responsiveness for granted--at least T's do. (Other doctors dont--but that's a whole other thing.)
If you can't talk on the phone, write and tell her how you feel! See if she can understand and take a different approach.
Maybe you could set up a time for a phone call?
Try not to feel too bad. I know it feels awful, but you deserved to hear from her-- and shouldn't be abandoned. It's not you, it's her. She really needs to recognize and respond to your sense of her letting you down.
