> 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.I hate those kinds of sessions. They feel like a waste of time. I always want so much more.
> 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.
Ahhh, that's cool. Guess that made it more worthwhile. Soft voices, a gentle hand on a shoulder, all those things feel so special.
> 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.
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!
