Why do bad sessions always follow good?

Posted by Dinah on March 1, 2005, at 2:32:10

Last session was very good, today's was not so good.

First, he had lying open on his desk a letter from a client. It wasn't horribly personal, but really! That's not supposed to be there. It's in the same place it was last week, but last week I politely covered it with my check so that I couldn't see it. I feel like I really should chastise him about privacy as it relates to his messy desk, but I feel uncomfortable about genuinely criticizing him.

Then I mentioned a physical problem I had over the weekend, where my right hand went sort of numb and I had trouble writing for about half an hour. And he made it into something psychological. The only thing psychological about it was hypochondria over what was probably a compressed nerve or something. It sounded like something you'd hear from a sitcom therapist. Sigh.

I'm feeling like I want to cancel the midweek session, and I'm definitely going to reduce to two a week starting next week. I didn't have much to say today.

Sigh.
