So I had a problem this week when I felt very reactive and unsettled after a session talking about a trauma, when it was likely this problem would occur. I tried to self manage, but felt I was struggling. I asked to see her - she didn't reply for two days, and when she did she basically said she had no time. I felt better by then in any case and reassured her it was ok. However, how I feel about this is a different matter- I think she was perfectly within her rights, however I also think she could have replied within a reasonable time, and at least made a pretence of attempting to fit me in. Also, she could have asked me if I was alright. It feels a bit like, you open up, but when there is a problem, you are on your own with it. And also , let's face it , what can they really do?
Obviously I have a plan to talk about it, and get her thoughts on what to do next time, etc, and talk it through, but just interested to know what others feel. I didn't create a drama, just asked politely, but the ' no' was a bit off putting for me to further increase my vulnerability. How have any of you dealt with this or what would you do or say? I don't want to be over dependent, and consider myself generally stable. It's obviously time to redraw boundaries too.
