Evening all!
I’ve had a letter today from Healthy Minds- the “counselling” service I have been using for the last month. The last I heard after I went a complained by utterly useless original (and patronising) therapist, was I was going to be put into contact with another 1-2-1 therapist (which is what I had asked for innitally). I have heard nothing. Today, I come in from work (laiden down with Xmas shopping) and I have had a letter forwarded from my doctors telling me that this therapist has discharged me from the service because of my repeated failures to respond to her telephone calls!! I’m beyond fuming because I specifically asked for her to email me (which she never did) and not to call her due to my long work hours where i’m not in a position to phone anyone. She claims she left me voice messages- I never had a missed call let alone a voicemail. So now not only have I been patronised, my requests have now been ignored and it looks as though I have been lied about.
But it’s odd- normally I’d be incredibly down about this and I’ve been feeling numb and lethargic on the sofa with Leo trying to get me out of it. Instead I feel (understandably) angry- but also calm, its ever so strange. I’ve already a very polite, but blunt letter which is going to posted come Tuesday- but I dont feel the need to throw a strop of hurl abuse at people or lose my temper. Instead I feel almost passionate to sort this out and let people know what has happened and how I have been treated.
