The clinical psychologist told me that I was fortunate that my GP had referred me to a clinical psychologist directly, as some patients had arrived after having been referred to a psychiatrist and the psychiatrist had realised the patient did not need a psychiatrist and transferred the patient to a clinical psychologist.
I remember there were three chairs in the room. The clinical psychologist's chair and two patient chairs, side by side, perhaps for a couple or for someone and a companion.
I, going in to the consulting room (but not travelling there) alone, always sat in the same chair. The chairs were different colours.
One day I said that when I felt better I would sit in the other chair. I don't know why I said that. Some goal for me, I don't know.
When I got better, the clinical psychologist had remembered this and asked if I wanted to move to the other chair.
I said no, it doesn't matter now.
