My shrinks all cover for each other and are in the same reading group so it would feel weird to go into detail about what each one did or didn't do, at least I think. I don't know since I don't do it. I do mention some conclusion or interpretation that might be interesting to the other therapist. I have said that I outgrew a certain style and needed something else, but that was not too personally directed.

Once when I brought in some things a former shrink gave to me, turtle prints from the pacific, my current shrink seemed annoyed. He later asked why I had brought them in. I explained that I was trying to describe when the turtle became I kind of symbol for me and what it has meant. I think he thought I was showing him how generous the former shrink was in bringing me things from his vacations when he doesn't do those things at all.

They are human. They have pettiness and also make potentially huge, harmful mistakes. That has happened to me, but I have not gone over that, maybe mentioned? but certainly not processed.
