My new boss just came up and wants to meet with me this afternoon. Should I tell her that I have a weekly appointment (without saying what it's for, obviously) on Thursdays and that I will make up the time missed? Should I not say anything at all and just discreetly leave for my appointments? It's on the online office calendar that I'm gone for an hour every Thursday. I feel like I should say something so she won't wonder where I am tomorrow, but I don't know how. At least with my old boss, I had known him for years and was more comfortable talking to him (though I didn't tell him the appointments were for therapy).

I would also bring it up by saying something like "I just wanted to let you know that I have to leave for an hour tomorrow. I have weekly appointments that I have to attend every Thursday, and I make up the time over the course of the week."

I always feel uncomfortable bringing up abscences with my boss, but I feel soooo relieved once it's done, since I never get the negative reaction I was expecting.

Thanks, guys. I had the meeting with my new boss, and it went very well. I always imagine things will go terribly, and then usually they end up being not as bad as I thought. She was very nice when I said that I have weekly appointments and asked no questions. So it looks like there won't be any problems there.


Less than 24 hours to go until I'm back to my sessions...

I'm glad it went well for you, Laura. Just think, 3 weeks ago you were worried about getting through 3 weeks without your *T.* You have been through
