When you go tomorrow, no matter how hard it is you should talk about your desire for a new therapist. If she is a good therapist, she will provide you with recommendations. Or maybe talk through the why and maybe you can find a workable common ground. Or, she will show that she isn't a good therapist and it will be easier to walk away.

sumi - fingers crossed!

I know I should. It just goes against my nature to avoid confrontation at all costs.

Forgive me for being a bit of an asshole about this, but if your practice is in dealing with people who emotionally need professional guidance and assistance, would't it behoove you to communicate a bit better regarding when you are out of touch, out of town, and/or can't be reached?

For fuck's sake, this is not rocket science, change the fucking voicemail message.

Thank you! That was how I was looking at it, but I was wondering if I was being too harsh. She's never starts my session on time (but always ends it on time), she brings in photo copies of things for me to read (but can never find all the pages and spends half the session talking to me while trying to find them). Honestly, I feel like a jerk not liking her because she is scattered and disorganized because I'm both of those things, but I'm not the therapist.

Ack, sj. That's hard. I don't love confrontation, but I'm not shy of it, and I personally would rather break up with a therapist over the phone. "I appreciate the help you've given me, but I feel that I need to explore other therapeutic avenues. I'm looking for A, B and C; I value your opinion, can you recommend anyone who might be appropriate?"

sumi, ugh. What a giant PITA. Fingers crossed!

I will remember to take pix of DH in his Dean jacket when he gets home. He's away visiting M in PA this week. I cannot wait!

Ooooh, Strix, you should fill the pockets with little packs of salt and a book of matches. And either a flask or mini-bottle of booze. And maybe a mocked up fake ID with the name of some rock star DH likes.

Suzi, you are a fucking genius! I am so doing that!

A mocked-up FBI id!

Heh, he's already a subcontractor for the govt...I might get his clearance yanked if I did that!
