i really need some advice. i've been going to this particular therapist now for a month. she knows some things about me that i have talked about. i have a bit of trust. i hate the thought of starting new with some one else. now here's the problem. i go to therapy last night. i'm in the reception area for 30 minutes waiting. she fell asleep in her office for 30 minutes on my time. she wakes up and goes looking for me. i don't know why i stayed and waited, but did. she comes out and goes i'm so sorry, i fell asleep. ok, she didn't charge me a co-pay, i didn't get my full session. i actually found another therapist who i may see next week. would you guys stay with a therapist that falls asleep in their office. she told me that she didn't feel well, and just closed her eyes and fell asleep. it's other little things to. thanks

I might complain about it to the clinic/insurance carrier, dunno. Or at least let her know that


you would prefer to work with someone else?

just dk. i guess i'm kind of confused. i am going to see someone else at the beginning of next week. when you look at it a therapist is being employed by you, you hire them , then pay them. she fell asleep on my work time. just strange

maybe they are just that bored, and don't take their jobs as seriously as they should.

Going to a counselor requires a great deal of trust.
