> I terminated her today.
Oh no! I’m so sorry it didn’t work out!
> Well, to be honest, I obediently made another appointment, then called to cancel it and terminate.

> I wish I were a better person, but the oncology clinic where she has her office was a deal breaker. The first time wasn't so bad. She was on time, I was on time. I was full of Risperdal. This time she kept me waiting ten minutes, and I was out of Risperdal. I noticed that it wasn't just a waiting room. All the patients were sitting around in recliners getting their IV drips in a big circle. I'm sure it's all very homey and relaxing (although I personally would rather literally die than receive public treatment). But it's hard to believe that people don't throw up there. It caused way too much tension in the middle of my emetaphobia obsession outbreak.Yeah, I can imagine. Although… maybe the throwing up depends what meds they’re on.
I used to have emetophobia. I never ever threw up and I couldn’t be around other people who did. Getting food poisoning cured me (oddly enough). I threw up so often in the space of 24 hours that I think it desensitized me. Hypnotherapy is probably more fun than food poisoning… have you ever considered it? I sometimes think it would be the answer to my sl*g phobia...
> Plus.... well, I learned some things not to say or do till I've known a therapist longer, like a year or two. Trouble is if I hide those things for a year or two, therapy will be useless in that time period.
You hit the nail on the head: you could waste two years getting to the stuff you really need to talk about. Are you regretting telling her stuff because you didn’t like her waiting room? I could understand your regret if you didn’t like *her*, but maybe there’s more to it than I understand. Sorry for being dense.
> I'm almost positive now that Huntsville was just an enthusiasm. But I'm on my way tomorrow anyway, and I'm not sure about internet access because I'm leaving my computer with my husband who needs it for work. I'll try to check out the local libraries. :)
I hope you have a good trip. And that you enjoy the libraries! Let us know how you feel after you’ve been there again.
