I don't want to change the topic of this thread away from Dinah - but - I couldn't help but pop open my eyes when I read the topic your therapist is presenting a seminar on. Yes, wouldn't we all love to hear what it feels like from their point of view. AND ... I feel better knowing that on some level it is difficult for them. My therapist has said, "It's bittersweet."
When I abruptly terminated with my therapist (gulp) 19 years ago, I didn't speak with her again until I started working with her 4 years ago. Currently when we talked about my feelings regarding leaving and I questioned hers, she said, "Of course I questioned what happened, what I said, what you were thinking, feeling. But after calling you that one time, asking if you could come in to talk more about what was going on, I had to ultimately accept your decision." Her reflection on that period of time did ring true for me. What I took as indifference, was her acceptance. At the end of the day, I'm so happy she is back in my life.
Back to Dinah - yes, I am worried for her physical health and I hope she is feeling better and getting good medical attention soon.
