My T is on vacation this week, and then I'm out for two weeks after that. Yesterday she left me a message saying that she'd be out the week after that. And I just realized that the week after *that*, I'll need to be at work all day for a special project. And the week after *that* I have a conference to go to. So, now we'll be scheduling in June.
Instead of that, I decided to just scrap it. I just left her a message explaining the situation and said I'd call again when it seemed feasible to schedule an appointment. And my plan is to not call back. I know it's not very direct, but it's as close as I could get. And it leaves me options if I rethink this later.
I feel like I don't really get her style (peronality, not therapy), and that she doesn't get me. Half the time, I leave feeling that she's annoyed at me, or vice versa. She has helped me at a bad time (getting over my old T's moving away), but I think this isn't really a good fit. But the biggest thing is that I find that I don't look forward to therapy anymore like I always used to with him. I mean, I dreaded it, but I so looked forward to seeing my T. And I just don't with her. It feels like so much more of a struggle. It's been about 4 months with her now.
Maybe I'll just take a break (I kinda have to anyway), and consider options. Maybe I don't really need to be in therapy anymore. Or maybe I need to look for another T. Anyway, a break sounds good to me right now.
Any thoughts? Am I sounding unreasonable?
