This is a key point.. I think. Most people are totally clueless about how therapy works and what issues might arise as you go through the process. If you said to me the 1st day of therapy. Look at some point you may feel the need to call or contact me outside of the session... I would have looked at you like you were freak'en nuts. But if you posted a FAQ or had a new patient for folder or something I would have taken it. Then pulled it out if something came up.

I hope if there are any psych students lurking around PC, that they see this thread and consider it. I'm not saying it has to be a detailed road map for handling interpersonal relationship. It just needs to be some basic info on how a T or a Group Practice handle common situation that arise in therapy. After all if I was knowledgeable and skill at communicating and resolving interpersonal issues, I wouldn't need therapy in the first place. A little guidance would be helpful.
