NOPE (therapist)
Feb. 10th, 2023 12:34 amIt being 2 weeks from my last appointment, I had another therapist round. Computer wasn't loading Teams, so I emailed her to inform, and she called me. That took about 5 minutes.
At 1:15, I said that the session was done.
In that time, I'd expressed my relief at getting answers in the x-ray, grumpiness about the most likely source of the injury, and combined triumph and exasperation at my meds routine. In adding "The Wheel of Pain" (7 day med wheel, 8 ibuprofen @ 200mg each, 3 cyclobenzaprine, and 3 half-tablet acetaminophens, with the schedule written on the back and old sticky Tic Tacs for "food") I realized I needed a med tracker app now. And it feels like half my day is pills now.
My ex therapist. Said. That it was a good thing? That I was using my powerful logistics skills? To make my own life better? Instead of using it for other people?
That was the point where I said that I thought the session was over. Bye.
I closed the Twitter tab I was on, closed the DW update box, and called Scheduling to request a new match. One with less focus on positivity.
By the time that was done, I had an email with an apology saying that she'd misstepped and should have used empathy instead of trying to find the positive side. I guess she can use that insight on her next disabled client.
Edited to add: earlier in the day, the passenger door failed to unlock for Belovedest. Car is at the shop now.
