So tomorrow is therapy day. I am feeling so apprehensive about therapy this week. I need to discuss something with Eileen that I’m not sure if I should discuss or not. You see it has to do with her family, namely her mom. Last week our session was rearranged because her mom had a fall and Eileen had to take her for x-rays. She phoned me, and during our call told me that her mom was living with her and of what had happened. During my session well at the end of it, I asked her how her mom was, and she told me her mom had broken some ribs. I sympathised with her and said I hoped she’d be ok. I’ve been thinking about her mom this week. I was going to text her and ask her how she was doing, but then I thought I’d better not…I thought it may be inappropriate to ask. And maybe she doesn’t want me asking a lot of questions. I figure the best thing to do is to ask her tomorrow if it is ok to be thinking about her family, and asking questions. I know Eileens always really open and stuff about her feelings on any matter, so I know when she answers me it will be with honesty. But it doesn’t stop me worrying about that discussion. I’m nervous about it. I want her to know that I care, but I don’t want to seem to intrusive, if that makes sense.

” I want her to know that I care, but I don’t want to seem to intrusive, if that makes sense.”
that sentence, right up there, is what you should say when you see Eileen again. Don’t even change a word. it’s beautiful and perfectly expressed.
if she says nothing, then leave it alone. if she says something vague, ask about it once in a while, if she opens up, then be there to listen. she may not want to open up, since she is YOUR therapist, not the other way round, even if she would like to share, it would be kind of wrong.

I’m sure she knows that you care 🙂
If you will feel better asking, ask. She always can choose if she wants to answer and how 🙂LikeLike
