And this is why I don't post on this board.

Not a member of the club. Don't want to be. Thankful to be excluded.

If this wasn't a rebuff, then it truly don't understand the world. It hurts, and it feels invalidating. I have a great relationship with my therapist. She helps me a lot; I learn from her. This past year we went through a badly broken leg that necessitated her to move temporarily to a location where she didn't have to climb steps. Neither of us liked the space.

A close therapist friend of hers began and has almost ended an awful fight with stage 4 uterine cancer. My T has had to reschedule some appointments so she could take her friend to treatment.

She recently lost her father and had to travel across the country several times to arrange hospice care.

I guess I am trying to say that I expect a give and take relationship with my therapist. That she has the same life crises that I face; and that it is unrealistic and would be selfish of me to expect her to be at my beck and call.

That is what I really don't understand. We don't own these professionals and their services. Are they our slaves? Is this an indentured service?

I am puzzled and not a bit worried by those who feel there is a sense of what is owed to them because of a long term relationship. It's treatment.

See ya elsewhere.
