I heard from my therp |
She called this morning, but I was in bed, and the phone was across
the room, in my pants' pocket.
She apologized, said she deserved the voicemail I left her...
She sees a few private clients like me in addition to her "day job,"
and apparently, her work life is self-destructing, as I have been
suspecting for a while now... I've been with her through "thick and
thin," as they say, so I can read her pretty well, as she can me.
Regardless, I'm still angry that she didn't show up or at least have
her phone turned on that night.
She said she wanted to call when I wouldn't be likely to answer the
phone... though not, she said, because she didn't want to talk to me,
but because she wanted me to have time to think about what she had to
say for herself, and what I might want to say in response.
She suggested I call after 5 this afternoon... I've been thinking
about it all day, and I still don't know what I want to say.
I can get flares of anger, or feel lost/pointless/pathetic, but other
feelings/emotions are totally missing; I really don't care about
anything... it makes it hard to figure out what (life-affirming
stuff) I want, let alone verbalize it.
So I need to call her in an hour or so, and I'm mostly just numb.

Yes she has a life, and she also has a job, a job that she has chosen,
and for which she gets paid.

I don't understand your reply.
Do you think I don't have a right to be angry?
As a licensed psychologist, if she can't handle working with her
private clients in addition to her "day job", she has a professional
responsibility to say so.
Lacking a severe crisis, I find it pretty much inexcusable that she
was unreachable during the time in which I had a scheduled
appointment.

Yep. Never mind minor *****. If I had not showed up for work without
calling and remained unavailable by phone for the better part of the day, I
would have been fired on the spot. It's not like this is the first time

I'd be pissed if someone didn't show without calling no matter
who they were, or which side of the desk they were on. My
PCP's office has a policy that if you're more than 15 minutes
late or don't show for an appt more than three times, ever,
they drop you as a patient. There should be some sort of
retribution on the other side, as well.

My doctor didn't show up to work because she didn't want to drive in the

Because I got them from the hospital I guess and hadn't talked to my
outpatient doctor about them or something. I don't know. I don't even
think they have an on-call doctor there. Which really sucks because my
doctor only works two days a week, Monday and Friday.
