This is the second time today I've written a message and had it disappear on me. I'm losing my techno-touch! If this ends up posting twice, I'm sorry.
I do think she listened--she was taking our history, which will continue for at least another session. (Darn! I was hoping for homework!) :)
She just had a condescending attitude, I thought. She even asked me what my educational background was, right before she launched into her big lecture. I actually think she thought I was uneducated and stupid!
I'm appreciating my pdoc therapist more all the time. At first, I had serious doubts about her skills, but she has really done well. Even if she were to agree to be friends, I would at least think twice before giving her up as a therapist. So I guess that's a step in the right direction.
On the other hand, I could certainly use a friend. What sucks is that I know I have to talk about this AGAIN in therapy tomorrow. I'm so pathetic!
