My T would not let me end session last night until I promised to make a doctor’s appointment for a medical problem I have related to my eating disorder. I casually mentioned the problem to him towards the end of my session and he became very serious all of a sudden and wanted to know why I haven’t done anything about it yet. I tried to make light of the situation saying that I would eventually see an MD but he wouldn’t buy that and kept at me until I basically promised him that yes, I would make the appointment ASAP.
After session I felt so many strange emotions about that interaction; growing up, my parents, though not neglectful, did not show too much concern about my physical health and I hardly saw the doctor unless it was truly a matter of life/death. My T’s persistence made me feel cared for (a feeling I didn’t get a lot of as a child) and his concern really touched me.
Anyways, I don’t post often but I just wanted to share that with you all. Thanks.
