New shrink.
I saw a new shrink today, for the second time in two months...waiting for him to get a permanent spot for me. I don't know, I don't feel a connection there, but it's only the second appointment so not sure. Some of the issues are that he does psychodynamic/analysis, which suits me and my needs, however, he's an hour away from home. When eventually I do get a place it will mean going back and forth two to three times a week. Then there's gap fees, hopefully he will not charge me a lot, now he is bulk-billing me. Then there are his quirks. He's in a nice new office building, with some three rooms and he has them packed with books, boxes and really old furniture. It looks like he's halfway through packing. His secretary has no computer and she uses the old Medicare swipe machine to put through bulk-bill forms. Lol, he even looks like he is trapped in the 70s and his office furniture is probably from that period too. I am trying to overlook all that cause sometimes eccentricity means genius. The thing that has me worried though is the last time and today, he saw me late and finished our session early. I'm use to the 50 minute session, but each time I got about 35-40 minutes. He also told me, almost in a whining way how I didn't look enthusiastic about therapy, like I was suppose to be giving a pep talk. I'm freaking depressed and have lost faith in healing, future, everyone and everything, sorry I didn't consider his needs. Anyways, see how things go.
