Dear
Dr. Robert,
Do you have a suggestion what to say to a Psychiatrist
at the conclusion of a session? I feel awkward in what to say
that doesn't sound trite. The Psychiatrist uses body language
at the end turning himself away from me facing his desk against the
wall, he is in a wheel chair, so I get a little uncomfortable saying
goodbye with his back turned to me. I hope I am not being
trivial about this.
Thank you for your service to the public in
providing the forum. I continue to learn a lot reading responses from
you.
Warm Regards,
Patrice
Patrice--
Good
question, but without knowing more about how your psychiatrist works
and what your relationship is like, difficult to answer. How about
this (just a suggestion):
"I'd feel more comfortable saying
goodbye while looking at you, but in any case, thank you and see you
next time."
This has the double virtues of honesty and
civility.
I
am pleased to offer the forum as a
place for dr. robert visitors to meet and discuss things. Glad
you enjoy it.
Be well
