Ok, I never thought that I could be in a perfect patient club.... I'm too far from perfect. I cause my therapist distress at times. I fooled her for over a year, thinking there was nothing wrong with me. Today, she got most of the way to her office, and then went home to type a letter that she had forgotten for me. How can I possibly be a perfect patient?
Then, you kind and goodly people show me that the meaning of a perfect patient isn't one that merely behaves according to some set of rules, but rather is a patient who gets what she needs without the therapist suggesting you find another more suitable practicioner.
So, without objections, I submit my request for entrance into your fine club.Being on time - What does too early or too late mean? Funny question.... Today, my therapist was early, and I was early, and we started the session 15 minutes early. Of course, we left after an hour, but it was a full hour, of therapy.
Dressing for the visit: Do you think about it? If so, what does that mean?
Generally, I like to wear clothes; preferably clean ones. Some times this is more difficult than others. I do like to shower before the session too.What foods are we endorsing for post-therapy consolation: (I vote for cream of wheat :)!
Today was Chocolate striped shortbread cookies and milk.Thanks all,
Dee.
