So I had a session yesterday; one which was very 'off'. I sensed something wrong when I walked in. I had not seen my psychiatrist for six weeks. I kept looking at him trying to figure out what was different. He seemed haggard and a little disheveled. He certainly wasn't himself. He cut our session short and shuffled me off after only a half hour (I usually get a full hour). I was very concerned. In fact, I felt a need to be a shoulder for him instead of the other way around. It was very easy to feel empathy for the man. I really had an urge to do something to make him feel better. This was a struggle for me; for, as I am sure you all have figured out I believe a relationship with a psychiatrist or therapist should never cross the professional line. So, this incredibly strong need to help was extremely troubling for me.
Anyway, as I mentioned in another thread, the session culminated in his informing me he was closing his practise. A whole other can of worms to deal with. In the meantime, I have this strong feeling that I should be responding in some way. |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
