He told me any requests I send, he would ignore, because supposedly I am entitled to privacy, but, I mean, if I request someone, I obviously don't care if they see stuff. I think he's just insanely confused. He even told me a client from 3 months ago texted him last week, but that was to ask if she could see him again for a session, but still.....

And yes I know social workers have the tougher rules... and I believe the therapists who are part of the APA.

Hm, yeah, his reasons behind the rules seem kinda confusing. And the privacy thing should be up to you, not him. But maybe he's just not sure how to explain.


And yes, psychologists are the ones who are part of the APA (they have a long code of ethics on their website). Of course not all of them really follow it...T was telling me the other day about some (well, not sure if psychologists or just therapists) he knows who don't follow certain rules, including becoming close friends with clients who recently terminated (my T follows the rules though, from what he said).
