And while we're on the subject, mini-poll time: what would you think, if a therapist trying to convince you had symptoms of x mental disorder says after some increasingly heated discussion, "and your other providers thought so too"? Asked why she would say that (especially given her low opinion of said providers), says she's being honest. It then turns out later that she is wrong about one of them when she consults her notes (as she tells me by voicemail). Is this as offensive as I think it is?
I don't actually understand the sequence of events I don't think.
If she said "I think you are X and your past therapists did too" and then called you up and left you a message that she was wrong and that one of your past therapists did not think you are X = then I would not find it offensive. I would find it somewhat incompetent and would find another (or others) to hire and quit this one (which it seems like you have been sort of trying to do any way) - but I can't say offensive is the word that comes to mind for me.

I don't fully understand how she would know about the other therapists or have their notes - how did she get them and why?
