In reply to GG I hope your session goes well today, posted by fairywings on December 12, 2005, at 9:59:01
Hi fairywings,
Thanks for asking! It was an okay session. It was hard to feel connected to him, and we talked about that. We also talked about a number of things, which all felt random.At the end, though, when we I was leaving, he said, "Bye" in such a soft, sweet, caring way. It made me want to go home and just have a good cry, it was so caring. I'm not sure I can even describe what was different about it, but it wsa just one of those treasured moments.
One thing we did talk briefly about was that he thinks I'm trying to "give up the sick role," and I don't know how to allow others to care for me if I'm healthy. That makes sense. And he's right. Something new to work on, I suppose.
How are you doing?

Ahhh, that's cool. Guess that made it more worthwhile. Soft voices, a gentle hand on a shoulder, all those things feel so special.

Oh, that's a big one. It's great that you can talk openly about that, it must be hard to even admit you fall into that role. I'd guess a lot of ppl in therapy fall into that role, myself included, but then I get to the point where I just want to be seen as "normal". It's all so confusing/interesting how things work the way they do.
> How are you doing?I'm doing well, thanks. I have an appt. tonight and dread it. Just not ready for it. Next year I have to go to every other week instead of once a week because of ins., and I hate that. Too much stuff to cover. I get too off of it when I'm not going once a week.
Any ideas for gifts for a pdoc?
Have a great day!
