Hey @PeppyPatti @Jynx ☺️🌺
sorry to hear it’s a bit of difficulty with your therapist💜🌺
Heres a little story to hopefully cheer you up… I may get into strife here - please feel free to let me know Jynx if I’m in trouble! ☺️
Well, I was granted 6 sessions - the first and last time I’ve successfully engaged a therapist despite trying for decades - and from session one, she would go nigh-nighs right there in front of me…yep. That’s code for asleep. Totally, and snoringly asleep asleep. 🤭
after a while, I kinda felt bad for her, so I used to sing a little lullaby as soon as she started literally nodding off, so she could really slide down in her chair and get a good nap for 45 mins or so
😇🙌🏻
When it was time…to wake her… (aka end of my session), I would try taking the lullaby from soft to a semi soft rock version, complete with thigh drums, but this wasn’t as effective as I hoped, so I started experimenting with wake up methods, and finally settled on the book drop from a decent height method, which would slowly rouse her from her deep and restful slumber 🙂🌺
I used to pretend that I was deep in recital of some significant life event (aka mills and boon from the waiting room), looking intently into my lap, as she woke up, and she would take a deep breath and say gently, well I think that’s enough for today - let’s pick it up next session.
And, that was that, for 6 whole sessions 👏🏻👏🏻🤭
I stuck with it because I was hoping that if she got all her snooze out the way during my sessions, there may indeed be some really good focus and attentiveness for the clients that came after me 🙂🌺
these sessions were online, so I was thinking that maybe she thought I wouldn’t notice? I don’t really know.. to this day, it’s still one of the mysteries of the universe ☺️
