In reply to My T's response to my........, posted by JayMac on November 1, 2008, at 19:35:29
I'm sorry her reply hurt you. Many Ts are very careful about what they write in emails--legal reasons, maybe--and even my T will just write the shortest of replies. But she does call if I beg (not suggesting you beg, I do!), anytime, day or night. It may take her awhile to get back to me, but it's usually the same day.
Some Ts prefer if you bring the words into the session and not write them down beforehand (or sometimes they make you read them!). My pdoc wants me to bring these things into session so we can have a dialogue over them and it's not one sided. So, your T offering the extra session IS her way of showing she cares. Who knows? Maybe she thought if it was critical enough, you would be willing to change your own schedule to make it. (I'm not saying that's an option, but she may think it is, gauging by your angst.)
But her email clearly was not enough for you, and I'm sorry she hasn't called you.
I don't know what else to say except I'm sorry, and march right in there and speak your mind.
You're lucky that your T will say she cares. My T does, but I have to drag it out of my pdoc, which is not the best of situations. But that's my problem.
While you hurt so much, know that you're headed down the right path.
