Therapist
Yesterday (Monday, January 15, 2007) my friend Tracy went to see her male therapist. Tracy had left a messageon Friday, January 12, 2006 on her male therapists machine about her sister and how when they get together her sister lectures Tracy about the money Tracy spends when they go shopping together to buy presents for birthdays, or when Tracy buys clothes for herself. (KEEP IN MIND today at work a customer said to Tracy; Tracy you are skinny, very skinny) So when Tracy saw her male therapist tonight she brought up the comments her sister makes about spending to much. Her therapist said; wasnt there an incident when she said fat. This got Tracy upset and mad. And she confronted her male therapist and said to him to explain and he said; I thought that was the message you left on my machine. I thought you said your sister said something about you being overweight; So they argued a little bit. She then said; Why would my sister call me fat, every one always tells me how skinny I am and my sister is always telling me how skinny I am and how I am lucky because I can wear any type of clothes; Her male therapist said; you are definitely skinny, you are not big, you do not have big legs, you do not have big hips, nothing about you is big; your body type is skinny, I bet your metabolism is fast; I just thought you said your sister said something about overweight; As the session came to a close as Tracy was leaving her therapist said; See you in two weeks, skinny: that is when Tracy asked again and the therapist said; you are skinny, your body type is skinny, I bet you have trouble gaining weight. Tonight Tracys friends said to her yes your therapist thinks you are skinny and he just misinterpreted what he thought you said on the phone.

Yes, I think Tracy's therapist merely misheard. That can happen on phone messages. He probably was alarmed that a skinny girl may be getting messages that she was fat.
What I think is more interesting is that Tracy is holding on to the therapist's misunderstanding and making a big deal out of it. I think she's uncomfortable about something else and is using this misheard word as the basis of a conflict when there's something else she feels unhappy with about their relationship.

He misinterpreted what she said over the phone. She should get over it.
