They should approach them the same way they always have, with respect and with the understanding that if the woman says "no" it means "no."
It really sounds like something in that letter or something about the topic triggered something in her. If so she needs to handle it. I'd be hesitant to give up a therapist because of one mistake on her part (which I believe this was) simply because finding good ones is hard. But I'm not sure I'd let it drop either. I'd have to talk to her more about it. I hope she is able to listen.

Whew! Your answer -- and those from everyone else who took the time to answer too -- is really helping me!
Can I hire you all as my therapist? You could share billing somehow and I am on time for appointments! Let's work something out...LOL!
