i remember my therapist said something to the effect of, "i've made it to this point in my career where i feel i can be a lot more selective about who i see and don't see." i got the impression that since she's been a therapist for so long (almost 30 years in private practice), that she just doesn't want to deal with certain issues. that being said, she does specialize in trauma treatment, so i'm not sure how that goes along with the other stuff. yes, i live in the US.

i'm sorry to hear you're being discriminated against because of your diagnosis. may i ask what that is? i don't know if we're talking about two different things here: diagnosis versus the "danger to society" thing. from what my therapist said, i understood her to mean that she wouldn't treat criminals, abusers.. that type of thing.
