Hi friends.

We are only as sick as our secrets, so here goes:

In the last two weeks, I found my mental health counselor becoming a little distant, or less warm.

I think it turned out okay, in the last session or two, for reasons I can explain in a following post here in this thread.

But for now, (1) I just wanted to get this out and (2) like any relationship, I can monitor the flow and change. I can keep my eyes open.

Good to keep your eyes open, and keep you eyes on the prize, your ultimate treatment goals

Unless, you can pinpoint something that prompted them to take a step back, it’s possible it’s something going on in their own life or other work that’s affecting their… affect.

An unspoken change could be a few different things. And even if it is due to something you suspect, it may turn out differently in a controlled therapeutic setting, to what you’ve experienced in the past.
