I saw my therapist in the treehouse office for about a year and a half before I went to 4 days a week. That meant I had to "use" both offices.
My "worst" story about his wife was about a time they went on vacation. Usually my therapist is the voice on the message machine and he does the whole "push 1 for X, push 2 for XX" etc. But for whatever reason, it was her voice saying that "they" were on vacation and you could get in touch with X or XX who were covering. Pretty standard stuff. BUT - I freaked out. He was gone - completely gone -- no voice, no sessions, no nothing. I could push 2 and leave him a message, but it was that automated thing that says his name. But if you pushed 1, there she was, reassuring HER clients that she'd be back soon.
By the time he came back, I was wrecked enough to tell him how horrible it was for me to not be able to "hear" him in anyway. Since then, he calls and leaves me a personal message to hang on to on MY voice mail, telling me he'll be back. And I've noticed that he does the outgoing message now instead of having it automated. I wonder if anyone else complained?
Anyway - it tends to be challenging. I'm glad they aren't actually using the same office.
