I mentioned ERT plans years ago on this forum, and it was a foreign concept to most, not needed, or to scary for some to broach with their therapist.

My therapist had one, and we talked about it in depth, because of my fear of abandonment, even in death; a childhood fear. I said, she needed to be female, older than me, and I wanted to know her name. My therapist was willing to tell me her name, but wanted to check with the therapist first. The savior "T" did not want me to know her name. My therapist was surprised by this. This had my therapist reconsider her ERT, and make changes. She chose a guy for me. I knew of his work, so I was okay with this. He was the therapist she used as a consultant on my case, and he was perfectly fine with me knowing his name.

I remember my therapist saying that her state's licensing board required them to have a plan in place.
