Appointment with L

I had my appointment with L earlier today. It felt better than the last couple have done, although I am not sure why. I just felt a bit more comfortable than I have been recently and it was just a bit easier and more like it used to be. It wasn't that it was an amazing, life changing session or anything, but it just felt better. We talked quite a lot about relationships - sexual relationships and friendships etc. She has a student at the moment - she didn't bring her in to my appointment or anything, but she said she would like her to talk to me at some point if I was ok with that, which is fine. I have no problem with students and talking to them etc - I just wouldn't really have wanted her in my only session in the week that I have with L, but I assume L knows that, because she didn't ask about bringing her in or anything. I get a bit pissed off when people assume it will be ok to just have a student in your appointment without really asking you first - my old, shit CCO did that - he just told me he had a student with him that day. I generally don't actually mind, and since I never actually said anything of any depth to shit CCO it wouldn't have mattered in the least who heard it, but I don't like people making assumptions like that. Mind you, when we were doing family therapy and he was my CCO he also assumed that we would like to go and do 1 session of family therapy at some conference type thing in front of an entire hall full of professionals. We set him straight on that one. He really is a moron. But anyway, I will probably meet this student sometime soon, although I don't know when yet. She is apparently only a first year, so I will try not to scare her too much ;)

  1. Glad it went well. I too find it a little annoying when students turn up- can't really say no- can I. Though I guess they have to learn somehow.x

  4. Good to hear that the appointment went better than the recent meetings with L. I am hoping that your depression is lifting a bit and that you are able to take a deep breath. You have needed one for awhile now.

  5. Glad to hear this appointment with her was better than previous ones before. I can understand being annoyed if a student sat into the appointment without you being asked first...I'd be hesitant to let a student sit in I think...for me, it's hard enough to be honest with one person, let alone two..!

    Take care,

  6. I am not comfortable having students in my T sessions. 2 years ago I was taking a DBT class and in one class a "student" suddenly appeared. Not only did I find it uncomfortable, the C did not even introduce her, which I found inconsiderate. I told her I thought it inconsiderate and that felt my anonimity could be compromised.
