Hi Folks,
It's my first request for feedback. Thank you so much in advance for any thoughts you may have!
I have been seeing the same therapist for about 25 years--a long time, I know. She is older--around 80. Anyway, a week and a half ago she called me from the hospital ER, saying she was going to miss our appts for the week. (I see her 2x a week). Of course I was worried and called her back later that evening at her hospital room to let her know I was thinking about her. Both times she was nice but very abrupt and got off the phone.
She is now out of the hospital and at home. I am still worried because I don't know what is going on. I called her back after a week (the night before our regular meeting time), and she stalled for time, saying that she isn't ready, but probably the next appt, but that we would talk on the phone first.
I decided I was getting tired of being left in the dark and figured she would call today. She didn't. Our appt would be tomorrow, but I'm not going to show up unless she calls.
I'm feeling so hurt from being left in the dark. She is usually fairly candid about her health, etc, so all this avoidance from her is causing me a great deal of pain. I want to be understanding because something could be seriously wrong, but why is she avoiding me? It hurts so much.
