Wow this is some thread. Suddenly everyone (other than SD) is a lawyer or a therapist.

How on earth is OP to let go when she was dropped suddenly and left in despair, and is getting conflicting, vague information about what is going on? Plus, there is no switch for letting go.

Someone needs to communicate to clients what is going on, so they don't take it personally or get the wrong idea. If the therapist can't do it, someone at the clinic should.
