Bad Day At The Therapist Today.

[LittleBear]

Bad day at the therapist today. He seemed mad at me and I don't remember anything we talked about. I'm probably to blame for the most part...I just didn't feel like talking.

Don't be so hard on yourself. We all have our off days. Lord knows I've had days where I felt like my therapist and I rubbed each other the wrong way. Your T should understand that, that not every day is going to be a lightbulb moment.

Try not to sweat it too much, or to blame yourself, or analyse it too deeply, or think about it more than necessary.

We're all human, and that goes for both you and your T. Some days you're just not able to go there, and some days the therapist's ability to go there may be impacted by external factors as well.

It's ok. I know it doesn't feel ok - those days tend to get under my skin too, but it says nothing about your relationship or the progress of your therapy other than the fact that you are both human, life is full of odd little twists and turns, and tomorrow, as they say, is a new day.

Thanks for the replies folks. Part of the problem was I had not been eating regularly and my guts were growling and I had very loose bowels and all's I could do was worry about loosing "matter" sitting in his chair. I had also had trouble holding my urine. Both problems appeared after going on Citolopram. I had lost almost 14 pounds in two weeks by my GP's scales. In short I wasn't feeling well and my rumbling stomach may have made him wonder what I was doing in his chair.

(((LB))), deep breaths my friend. He is your T, I'm sure he'll/she'll understand. Mine once produced a lined bucket after I told him I was extremely nautious after EMDR - I didn't need it, but it did make me smile.
