Feel T is so detached.

M melbaMember
I never miss a session. A couple of times in 10yrs I've been late because of traffic accidents causing delays. Today there was a bad accident that blocked the way I needed to go all morning. I didn't realise until I got there & had to find another way to try & get there. Needless to say, there wasn't another way, I had to try and find how to get home.
T emailed saying 'hope you're ok, I take it you're having difficulty getting here?'
I replied once home that I had and was so upset I couldn't even talk about it.
T replied 'sorry you have trouble trying to get here today'.
That was it. I feel hurt by that. I dunno why, I guess I hoped she'd offer me another slot or something. It feels like she's so indifferent, that she'd be as indifferent if I said I was quitting.
I guess I'm not as 'healthy' emotionally as her and am just sulking. I dunno. But it does hurt. Her one lines.

I can relate to those feelings of hurt when T relies so briefly to e-mails. I sent my T one this week regarding my upcoming session last night and she replied "no problem - see you later T" I felt a bit like "ugh, is that it?" But then I have to remember all the long detailed replies she's sent in the past. I guess sometimes they're just so short of time that a quick one liner is all they can write, but it does hurt nonetheless.

I'm sure your T wasn't being uncaring and that you feel better about it now.

I feel so unable to contain the hurt. I sent a rant email back to T. She replied saying she's sorry she didn't see that things had gone very wrong for me and that had sent me back to a very young time when I couldn't put it into words but wanted someone to make it ok for me.
I'm not sure I'm even sure that's what's going on. I feel a desire to eat & eat. To put something 'inside' of me.

Yes, I've learned about all the benefits of being a Patron Member (Click here if you missed seeing them: Community Psychotherapy Help

Yes, I understand that...

1. I can do a 7 day free trial and my credit card will not be charged until that period is up.

2. I can cancel at any time before then and my card will not be charged.

3. That once my credit card is charged, there is no refund offered.

Have a special coupon?

4. If I'm using a coupon my receipt won't show the discounted amount (It'll show $7.95). However, I understand that it will go through as $2.95 when I am billed after the 7 day trial. (According to the current promotion, this discount applies to the first three months of my membership - and as long as I use the coupon in the checkout.)*

*Please note that after the 3 months, billing will revert to the regular monthly fee.
**The fee posted below is our standard billing fee (ie. using no coupon).

7-Day Free Trial, then $7.95 per Month (plus tax if applicable)
