I need help

Post Reply New Topic

I don't know what to do. I think my therapist is sorry he took me on. I'm sure of it. In our last session, I think he was trying everything he could think of to make me quit. Then, we didn't schedule a session at the end because I had to leave immediately for work after the session, and he had logged on 15 minutes late so there was no time at all. I think he logged on late on purpose just to get me upset. Now I don't know if I should schedule an appointment, I feel like I should wait for him to write to me, so I can have proof that he doesn't mind me.

He took me as a favor maybe? I was referred to him by a doctor at the school where I study. Maybe he's decided his favor is up?

Logging on late to upset you? He'd have to be sitting there, drinking his bottled water and checking his email, or whatever he was doing, looking at his watch and saying to himself..."hm...not quite yet...let me wait a few more minutes to really upset her..."

He would have to a really messed up person to do that to his clients. It would take a lot of energy and planning on his part and make it hard for him to concentrate on the rest of his day. So I'm gonna say no, I don't think he was late on purpose.

What else did he do that bothered you?

I don’t think he is purposely trying to hurt you; he maybe careless or crappy. But I don’t think he would intentionally set out to upset you… Mostly because they depend on your money for making a living.

I agree with the others; unlikely he intentionally tried to upset you. Telling him that being late bothers you would be a good thing to talk about along with your other concerns.

If you ultimately feel like you aren't getting anything out of the sessions, could you try another therapist? Not every therapist is the best for every client. Neither side should feel bad about that.

Thank you everyone for your replies. For some reason, I didn't get any notifications in my email. I logged on today, and saw your responses.

I'm just very scared because I don't usually feel like talking to people, but I like to talk to him and look forward to it...and I worry all the time that it will end soon. When it seems extra likely that he will quit helping me, I get panicky.

Anyway, thank you for assuring me that he's probably not trying to be mean. I hope you're right.
