I don't have a therapist, either. I'm... Well, mostly I'm alright with that. I guess he didn't terminate me, it is more that I just stopped going. But then I needed to stop going, with the hours I needed to work. And then I left the country... I emailed him each year with an update... But then I didn't hear back so... I haven't emailed him again.
I'd like to send him my thesis, I think. Once it is done. Because he did help me there for a time. He was Very Good in a number of ways. Not perfect. Not by any means. But Good Enough. I would... Like to work with him again, I think. Or someone like him. I would like to figure how to be More Productive.
I think your situation... Is fairly normal. I mean... I think that it is fairly common that therapists need time out for their own health. I... I don't know that I would be able to function in the profession. The need is too great... I think I would feel overwhelmed by my inability to fix things. I think I would struggle with the whole zen thing of accepting and supporting and trusting and having faith...
Maybe... We can work through things a bit here? Or something... I don't know.If you had to pick a topic for your very first session what would it be?
Or maybe you did already... Flaky therapists... Want to say more about that?
