In reply to The pdoc's apology -- what do you think?, posted by Aphrodite on December 23, 2004, at 18:18:32
I think that you should see how it goes.
I am so glad that you wrote her honestly!
What she said was the appropriate thing to say, but I do hear you that such things can sound patronising and fake when you have reasons to mistrust.That is a mistake that lots of clinicians make.
Thinking people are more highly functioning than they are.
That same mistake gets made with me fairly frequently.
But they are genuinely suprised when I spin out.
It took me so long to realise that their suprise was genuine.
I think it is because I am so good at putting on the 'I'm ok' face - even when I am not. I am not.
Sounds like you are pretty good at this too.
And it gave her a shock.See how it goes, and TRY to give her another chance. That way nobody will be able to say you didn't try - and then I won't let you say it here either!
Good luck.
I do hope she doesn't let you down
