Ya know, it is funny. I live 3.5 miles from my therapist and you know that we're bound to run into one another from time to time. In fact, the next day, I saw his car go by on the road.
Maybe he WAS having an argument with his wife, but by golly, if he knew I was watching, you'd think he'd be a little more discreet about it! Anyway, my personal opinion is that most therapists have more problems than the general population. I mean, why do you think they were attracted to psychology in the first place? But what the heck? As long as they can do good therapy...it's fine with me.
The thing is, he's already made some pretty big mistakes in my therapy, in my estimation. He's sometimes quite hard on me. He has lost his temper at me a time or two and made me feel really bad, so it didn't surprise me at all to see him act that way. If it weren't for the fact that I think I am nearly through, I would go looking elsewhere.
You know, if it weren't for the meds I'm taking, I would probably take the whole thing kinda hard, but actually, I am laughing because HE's going to be the one who's going to be embarrassed when he finds out. I can't imagine that he would treat me that way on purpose. Even when he has been mad at me, I truly deserved it, and it was more like a father mad a his daughter for coming home too late--a caring sort of anger, if you know what I mean.
My session is on Thursday. I'll let you know how it goes.
