My cold therapist

Anytime she opens the door for receiving me I feel she's just going out of the fridge. Her eyes are cold, suddenly I'm getting cold too.
I was watching her in my chair and she said "go", I answer "my dog passed away yesterday". She doesn't react, I told her the full story of my sweet dead angel and she said "pursue", "pursue", "what do you have on mind now", I was crying my handkerchief on hand, I didn't know what else I could say, I had anger, I felt angry because she doesn't react, she sees a woman crying, a lot of sadness inside, she's always cold.
Back at home, I felt better, for 2 hours, and I cried again, I cried until evening, and I went to bed crying, why my dog ? Why a so wise and sweet dog, has to pass away at six y old ? WHY WHY

I wanna thanks Michelle, for her sweet words, Francis too, and Graham which owns a sweet dog called Dylan.

It's hard to believe she was so unsympathetic, but maybe she feels she has to be to do her job. I try not to think about what the day will be like when my dogs aren't with me. I just enjoy every minute I spend with them. I hope you feel better soon.

Thanks Francis, I was expecting for her compassion, only an expression on her face, no nothing, she's a robot, writing and writing. I have never met before a therapist like her.
But I feel better this morning I don't know why, less angry, less sad, I have post an ad for a puppy yesterday on evening.
I know what you mean about your dogs, be always sweet with them. We are here for loving them.
Ciao !!!

I wish people could be more understanding. A loss of a friend is just that.. a loss of a friend.

Whether they are fur friends or not... {{{{BIG HUGS TO YOU}}}}

Thanks Michelle, people are individualist, who does help a old woman to cross a dangerous road ? I do it, I did it yesterday. But when I brought Thaïs to the vet no one helped me ....
Big HUGS TO YOU TOO

I agree with franscud. I once went to a therapist over 12 years ago and was in tears about the subject at hand...and I asked her how she could stay composed. Basically, she did say she needed to be to maintain a "professional" demeanor, however, she did confess that there are times when she just can't help it and had teared up with a client. Case in point, she shared that this one time when her client found out she was terminally ill and was pretty young..et cetera and was dealing with "dying of cancer"
I felt pretty bad crying about my dysfunctional relationship at that moment when that put me in perspective. But in all fairness, perhaps you should look to find another therapist that might suit you better. I have since been a few times to another lady and even though she listens and sits quietly, I do feel that she gives me feedback that I need.
Yes, I believe a pet is like family...definitely like losing a LOVED one. For sure.
My condolences.
