I finished counselling early ( a no show) so I went for a coffee and fishfinger sandwich in Colwyn Bay
No shows occur for a myriad of issues, lack of engagement , lack of rapport, the lack of structure and the non directive approach of person centred therapy are just a few. In trauma the freedom of choices can promote disengagement and disassociation.
Some people just want to be told what to do
I didn’t mull about it too much. The fish finger sandwich was glorious and the weather was warm.
And I took off my counselling jumper to show off my dinosaur t shirt.
Just a fish finger sandwich
A no-show is a mixed blessing I guess. Love the t-shirt and glad a fish finger butty and chips hit the spot! xx
ReplyDeleteI’m good at looking after myself x
DeleteMentally wise
DeleteDo you get paid if they don t show? Lizzy d
ReplyDeleteDepends
DeleteIf there is no warning or excuse , I get full payment
If I have 24 hour notice I get half payment
Great t-shirt!
ReplyDeleteIt’s from The German
DeleteFish have fingers? A no show sounds like a nice little unexpected break for you.
ReplyDeleteWith lots of tartar sauce bloody lovely
DeleteWhat a delightful way to spend your unexpected free time, to enjoy the bay views, and that yummy fish finger sandwich with fries ... or chips! That's most excellent self care!
ReplyDeleteLove the dino tee, too. A bit if levity under your jumper.
Hugs!
The only levity under my jumper indeed !
DeleteLee would have loved that reply

Love the shirt and here in the US the client has to pay something if they don't show up. So there is a penalty. Is there a penalty there?
ReplyDeleteYes I get paid full amount if no notice
DeleteI love fish finger sandwiches 🥰
ReplyDeleteBloody lovely
DeleteSounds like a wonderful way to close out the day.
ReplyDeleteTonight I’ve lit the fire , that’s sweet
DeleteJust the mention of a Fish Finger Sandwich has me drooling. Tomorrow!!!

DeleteLooks like a banging sandwich. No where nicer to eat it either but by the sea. Sad about the now show, I feel that the no show..er missed out on some healing...and that is sad for them.. but my philosophical self says that this incident is also part of their journey and also a path for learning and healing.
ReplyDeletePerhaps he wasn’t ready
DeleteSharing an ordinary day can feel - not maybe profound, but it does feel intimate. Like a true friend sharing their take on a day. It is why I am here. XO
ReplyDeleteThank you Katie, I love blogs like what you mention xx
DeleteLove the t-shirt! Fish finger sandwich looks good too! Jean in Winnipeg
ReplyDeleteWhen I was a teenager, working at McDonald's, for my lunch every day I got a fish filet sandwich which I believe is fairly close to a fish finger sandwich. Or as close as McDonald's gets, anyway. I looked forward to that thing every day. It was probably horrible. What did I know? I do love a good fried fish sandwich now.
ReplyDeleteYeah. You can't take things like a no--show personally.
I love the T, Rex! A nice place to enjoy a meal or a cup of coffee.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great spot to relax and eat in a T-Rex shirt!!
ReplyDeleteOhhh
ReplyDeleteSee? That’s style! And you say you don’t have a fashion tribe?
XOXO
The no-show gave you some well-deserved time to do as you please. The fish sandwich with lots of tartar sauce sounds divine.
ReplyDeleteI like the saying: You can please some of the people, some of the time, but not all of the people all the time.

So you got a snow day and some Vitamin D, winner- winner. Looks like a beautiful day! Jen
ReplyDeleteA therapist I used to work with would say that sometimes not showing up was more progress than being there and that a breakthrough might be in the offing. Hopefully no tartar sauce breakthrough onto that fabulous shirt.
ReplyDeleteCeci
The sandwich/roll looks delish and the T shirt looks fab.
ReplyDeleteThere is everything profound about a good fishfinger sandwich, especially with a handful of chips and wearing a dinosaur t-shirt. :-)
ReplyDeleteSo the Gop isn't the tallest there?
ReplyDeleteA sammy by the sea in tbe sunshine...can't fault it! xx
A fish finger sandwich IS profound. Especially when someone is eating it - and it's not you!!
ReplyDeleteLove your t-shirt! Hugs Bun
ReplyDeletei would have to be half dead before i would miss an appointment. My girls say if I'm not a half hour early i'm late. i was always told that it's disrespectful to be late or not show up without at least calling with a dam good reason. i am having a fish burger, no fries but loads of tartar sauce for lunch today.
