Of course I would never tell her that. I wouldn't want her to think that it's okay for her to care about me. I know, I know. Haven't told her about new pdoc either. I know, I know.
Good therapist- bad patient/client.
I had to reschedule this week's appointment and told her that I would sneak out of the office (I no longer refer to it as work or my job) early if she could see me earlier. She said *if you are going to sneak out of the office earlier, I'd rather it be for a job interview.* She saw me yesterday.
Next week she's out of town on Thursday and is seeing me on Wednesday.
Maybe the secret to having a T go out of his/her way to accomodate you is to tell them not to care about you?
I decided to call her tomorrow and tell her about new pdoc. I don't want to spring it on her one session before my next pdoc appointment. It really isn't an "oh, by the way" statement as I run out the door. I don't plan on signing permission for them to talk to each other. I just really need her opinion if I need that little bit of an antipsychotic to control my negative thoughts. I thought she could think about it until next week. Maybe obsessively over and over like I am.

Your post made me smile. You are getting closer and closer to letting her know that she has become important to you. That is so great. I'm glad you are going to tell her about your new pdoc and get her advice. She will be glad too.
And you aren't a bad client either...just slow to trust and creeping along. And that's fine. You could be me -- clinging all over the place and driving him crazy!
I'll be interested to know how your phone call goes.

It must be so comforting to feel that way about your therapist.
I see you opening up more and more. Even if it is just to admit things to us. That's great.
Enjoy the warmth.
