Seventyeight,
What a wonderful therapist and what an awful doctor! I cannot fathom that your doctor didn't fully prep you with details before beginning the procedure. I thought this was standard for any doctor! I must have been blessed over the years with great care, because I have never had any doctor who didn't inform me before, during, and after any procedure, big or small, childbirth to a standard checkup.
I am glad that you have a good t who has helped you through your medical ordeal. I would not worry that the information shared is too personal because your t has acted as a quality professional who has followed you and helped you through a terrible time. Kudos to a great therapist!
