I’ve got questions. Things that I wanna know. My psych said she would be around until Wednesday. I can’t contact her until then.
When she told me that she was leaving, she said she would make sure she hands me over to someone that does schema therapy. I did ask her that today. Whether my new psych does it, she said she didn’t know. She also said she would do a meet and greet with my new one. That hasn’t happened. I really like my psych. She says all the right things. But often her actions don’t match. Just feel like I’ve been palmed off to some random.
My new psych is only in Wednesday and Fridays. I don’t want Friday appointments. If I open a can of worms in session I want to be able to reach out for support afterwards. Not be left the deal with it and spiral over the weekends. And I think that maybe I have briefly met my new psych, and if it’s who I think it is, she is young. Which I’m not keen on at all. I really appreciate a psych who has a bit of life experience. Someone who has lived a little. I know I can’t make judgements on someone I haven’t even met properly yet. But I am not feeling at all positive about this change. And I feel like I have absolutely zero control or say in the matter either. I expressed my concern to my psych today, that I was worried that I would not have as good a connection with my new psych. My psych said to give it a chance. It will take time. I really hope that my psych does a good hand over. Pass on information that is important to me.
At the end of my session today my psych asked if she could give me a hug. I said of course. She also gave me a new journal and a new pen with a card she had written in. When my psych told me she was leaving, I wanted to give her something. It’s what I like to do, it’s who I am. I was tossing up between a plant that I had propagated a long time ago and it has grown heaps since and a piece of art work. A replica of a piece that I did that came out of some work I did with her. She really loved it. I’ve decided on the art work. I came straight home and started on it. I will get it finished before Wednesday and drop it off to her. I will put together some words in a card too since I couldn’t say much today.
