One thing I have asked concerns the journals they keep - how they are physically kept, who has access to them (nobody except T and me, I should hope!) and how long they keep them after I finish therapy.
I hope you'll stick around, BashfulBear - it's good to have people from this side of the Atlantic around  (no offence meant to all the lovely USAnians, it's just that you're always asleep until the early afternoon!  ) |
Thanks for your response!
Haha, don't worry about not having really asked questions before - I haven't either! T2 did ask me if I had any questions for her - caught me completely off guard - to which I uhhmed and ahhed, before simply saying 'no'. I think she was pretty shocked that I didn't have anything to ask, but for some reason she also found it pretty amusing. We just dealt with confidentiality and any other questions as they arose in later sessions.
IF I'm feeling particularly gutsy I might come out and ask 'Why do you feel you could help me specifically, what qualifies you to be my therapist?' but we'll see. Eep!
I hope so too! I'm sure they'll understand, haha!
I was super excited when I first joined here and found someone who lived under an hour away from me - *most* of the friends I make online do seem to be from the good old US of A!
