In reply to My therapist on extended leave, posted by Dinah Seeks Support on March 7, 2014, at 20:23:20
Hi Dinah,
I'm terribly sorry to hear about the very bad and terribly jarring news that you've received. I can't imagine anything more disturbing that hearing from an impersonal note that my therapist, whom I have seen for many years, and who is one of the most trusted people in my life has suddenly, inexplicably and possibly disastrously disappeared. How can you possibly trust and believe the claims in this note, when the first message appears to have been worded so as to minimize concern.
I don't want to suggest what you might be feeling-- it could be so many things, all at once-- but this sounds pretty overwhelming.
Is there, or have you taken anything to combat the anxiety while you cope with this enigmatic and possibly unreliable message-- that could have been sent to anyone?
I think the first thing is to take care of yourself, and to prevent this from becoming a destructive moment.
Even though we are not close, I didn't want you to be without any response, and I"m sure your friends will be here very soon, with as much support as we can muster.
But the thing I can most emphasize is that your priority now must be to take care of yourself-- and I hope that this be contained soon-- and you will be able to take some steps soon to clarify what is going on.
best thoughts to you
