Hi, I am a reader more than a poster and hope no one minds me sort of just making a "guest" appearence as I seldom feel able to offer any sensitive help to others as I feel I suffer from "foot in mouth syndrome", but I have something bugging me...my therapist recently returned and I asked her how she felt about returning to work. Now i Know she is also does other things from home not just therapy, and she replied "I have mixed feelings", I tried to let that go but she knew I think and i knew that what she said wasn't sitting well with me...I then almost in tears tried to get her to explain it better without letting her see how upset I felt by this so I said, "but, like, its different for some jobs like mine where I dont work with people to have mixed feelings about returing to work, but you work with people so does that mean you have mixed feelings about this?" and she replied,..."No, you asked me the wrong question, if you had asked me if I want to be here, in this room with you then I would have said yes", but I said, I dont get it..you said you have mixed feelings about being back at work and this is work?" and she said, yes but being here with you now is where I want to be"...I said I dont get what your saying..and then I left it, but I haven't left it really beause its going around in my head...does anyone have any light they could throw in this confusion I am having?
Thanks.
