Hello fellow babblers.
I had my session with my therapist today, and overall, I don't feel too good about it. The thing is, when I came into the room, and sat down I immediately felt that he was irritated with me--before I had even said a word. He started out being pretty hard on me. Let me say, I have been in therapy for an eating disorder and he had spoken with my doctor earlier, so he had some reason to be upset, but seeing him act that way, I immediately flashed back to the incident on the road, and, though I knew in my heart of hearts that how he had reacted on the road had nothing to do with me, I started to doubt it. I thought that maybe just seeing me out there triggered something and made him react that way, like "Oh, its HER!!!".
I have heard of therapists who really dislike certain clients, and I felt through the entire session that I was simply an irritation to him and little more than a problem that needed to be solved.
I brought the incident up, and of course, he was oblivious that he had done that to me, and laughed heartily at himself, admitting to me that he was a pretty hot-tempered driver, but then he wanted to get back to the subject at hand, and, I think, completely missed the significance of the incident in my perception of him and my progress in therapy.
Its times like this that I just want to give up on the whole thing. Is there anyone out there that really cares?????
Just needed to vent a little. Thanks for listening.
