When your therapist is too tired in some sessions

Hi

I’ve been in therapy for two years and a bit

Of course, 80% of the time I am in the office sometimes if I have a new job I go through Zoom calls, which is the case now

Usually, my therapist is in a good mood and seems to have energy but from time to time , I feel that she’s super tired so it seems like a monologue She barely asks questions and I feel like I’m talking to myself. she just gives a nod or asks a small question here and there. It feels weird honestly so I keep on talking

Of course anyone can have a bad day and I totally should respect that. However, yesterday in my zoom call honestly she was half asleep and really I was talking to myself while she just popped in one question like did you have any anger etc

I would have really preferred if she would reschedule because paying above $100 for a session is also unfair on my side.. I was not desperate for this session so it could’ve been moved. Unfortunately, I cannot mention anything I believe? I would’ve really respected it more. If you just told me, let’s do it another day or whatever without any reason.

Anyways, how do you guys handle this? Thanks

Therapist tired and barely talked

I’ve been with her for around two years and a half now sometimes we do zoom calls when I’m abroad but usually in the office

The thing is there’s a couple of times that she’s visibly tired. I do all the talking and she barely says anything I feel like I’m a monologue and I’m just waiting for her to say something or she just asks the same questions like any anger? Any rumination?

I know that some therapist have bad days are tired and have their own problems. However I am paying around $100 and that it’s not for me to speak to myself

I mean, I am shy to tell her anything, but this annoys me from time to time. How would you react in those situations? Would you say anything?

Thanks!
