Thanks Dinah, you always are a beacon of common sense in the midst of my irrationality.
Talking about my psychiatrist to my T was difficult toward the end (Aha! something else to consider). I didn't want to feel like I was defending him when she saw some things that really weren't quite right in his approach. It's the old mom/dad thing and nobody else is allowed to say anything horrible about my father. That is one of the things I've been trying to get over. I don't know how I feel about any of that anymore.
OK, I just gave in and called and left her a message. My first message. Sometimes it takes a few before she gets them because she is totally inept technologically... another reason to love her.
Yes, I am ready to fly, but just like my pre-teen son, sometimes you have to head back for cover and for strength before you move forward. Even as a pre-teen, teenager, wife/mother, you name it, we can all use a helping hand every now and then.
This whole situation with my psychiatrist is just too reminiscent of my father, but when I explore it, I often find that my misperceptions also play a role so it's so hard to see the truth.
When pressed, he says I'm not finished, but then he can't find time for me. It hurts, and it hurts a lot and I don't want to be reminded of it so I avoid my T.
Go figure. Thanks for responding,Dinah,
antigua
