You know I now think I am going quite mad, above and beyond my neurosis. I told my therapist the tale of the late ptherapist who was held up in traffic and wanted to discuss my famous friend. Her response was that we had to talk about why I had such stringent rules for others!!! She was the one who recommended this ptherapist by the way. I explained all I had been through with late therapists, how she was never late and how I thought it was part of a psychotherapy process to be on time. She wanted to know what I would do when the next ptherapist was late for an appointment. I told her that I would state in a telephone interview that I could not see anyone who had so little regard for a patient that they were late, especially on the first appointment. Is there a collusion between therapists here or what. I am now not so trusting of the therapist that I thought was so considerate.
Plus she is cognitive. What we talk about is my focusing on future plans so I will not feel so miserable. If I could focus on future plans and not be anxious why would I need her? Any thoughts on my rambling?
