Psychotherapist Suddenly ill

Hi Sharon My therapist of 7 years cancelled our session contending sheis ill. A few days later her colleague phoned saying it will take time AND if I wanted I could see another therapist. I was shocked. My doctor could only see me a week later. I was devasted AND needed some help that day AND met a therapist I know for a couple of meetings. She was extrmely kind but on our second meeting she literally bit my head saying her director warned her to keep off other therapists patients it was the tone of her voice that was extremely aggressive saying she felt guilty. The interaction with therapists in one week, mine left suddenly on sick leave, her colleague very insensitive to tell me see another therapist AND no explanation, my doctor who could see me one week later, the director who only thougt of ethics. Who thought of the shock AND welfare of the patient.

HELLO S, I'LL TRY TO ANSWER YOU IN ENGLISH. IT IS VERY HARD AND SHOCKING WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN THROUGH, ESPECIALLY WHAT HAVE HAPPENED TO YOUR THERAPIST AND THE FACT THAT SHE COULDN'T TALK TO YOU. I GUESS YOU FELT VERY ANXIOUS AND WORRIED ABUOT HER, AND STILL DO. IT LOOK LIKE EVERY ONE IN THIS SITUATION GOT INTO PANIC REACTION, AND YOU RIHGT IN YUOR SAYING - THEY DIDN'T PAY ATTENTION TO YOU AND TO YUOR FEELINGS. MAYBE YOU SHOULD WAIT A WEEK OR TWO SEE WHAT IS GOING ON WITH YOUR THERAPIST, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO KNOW IF YOUR THERAPY IS ENDED,OR AT LEAST TO TAIK TO HER ON THE PHONE, SO YOU CAN GO ON (AS HARD AS IT IS TO DO SO). I HOPE THINGS WILL CLEAR UP BETTER THAN THEY ARE NOW FOR YOU. MY BEST REGARDS SHARON

Thank you Sharon for your kind reply. I have decided to try AND keep away from the lot until my therapist gets back. Obviously it was all too sudden for her AND I assume she had no time to prepare me for this long absence. She has never done this before. Unfortunately, my experience with my own doctor AND the rest was quite frightening. I suffer from bipolar AND this certainly triggered all the symptons of text book material it is sad to think despite the fact that we are all humans, the therapists themselves seemed to have had acute stress AND guilt reactions because of me. Even sadder that a patient who is emotionally connected to her therapist is suddenly left in the cold with no one to turn to. Even the therapist who saw me twice AND was very supportive eventually took out her own guilt feelings onto me. Gosh I wish I did not need the lot. Thanks again
