I have never known a therapist to leave confidential information on an answering machine. This is a betrayal of trust esp. if there are other ppl in the household. My T's office calls me for change of appts and such. ther is nothing said about anything except "This is G---please give me a call back". and the # Now that I have signed a form that says the sect'y can say it is my T's office, the sect'y can say it's about an appt. or such.
