Me and my dopey phone calls to my pdoc. (He does therapy with me too, even though he is a pdoc--he is kind of old-school in that way, not just meds.)
Anyway, I called my pdoc's office line to let him know I had to cancel my next appt due to a work trip. The msg started out very normal and business like, and then, I don't know what got into me, but I said, "I hope we can reschedule soon...I will be so looong since our last appointment...I miss you!" in this little girl voice.
Good grief. Now it's immortalized on tape. I could never say that in person, it just came out of me during the msg. I feel like a dope. It was this needy, whiney voice. ack!
Now if he doesn't call back soon to reshedule I'll think it's because he is all scared that I said I missed him, which is silly, that wouldn't scare him. And I think I remember him saying he is on vacation this week anyway.
I swear, talking on the phone brings out the transference more than in person does. I think I get needier on the phone, or I express it more.
Please tell me I did not sound like a whiney baby on the phone.
