On my way to therapy each week, there's a sign with the current winning jackpot for the Mega Millions lottery. Last week, it was up to $315 million. Of course, the sign always gets me thinking. This time, I decided if I won, I would *try* to get my T on my payroll :). So, I told him this and after he stopped laughing, we talked about what I would want from that kind of arrangement.
Seems I want to know where he is all the time and what he’s doing. I want to be able to call him whenever I want. I think my mind works in overdrive most of the time and I feel like I just need someone (namely him, right now) to tell me my decisions are okay and that I can stop thinking about them so much. I want him to tell me not to worry and everything is going to be okay…about whatever. All the stuff that’s constantly in my head and I can’t seem to stop thinking about.
What would you want from your T if you had him or her on your payroll?
Oh, and needless to say, I didn’t win the lottery. But on the way out the door, my T told me I can call him if I need to. In two and a half years of therapy, he’s never told me I can call.
Maybe he doesn’t know I didn’t win. ;)
