Is a licensed clinical social worker the same as a psychologist? I was under the impression they were different and that neither isn't necessarily trained to diagnose people. I am not trying to offend anyone but IME a psychiatrist does the diagnosing and the LCSW and Psychologists do most of the treating? Do I have it backwards? Either way I do not care if she is the best PHD in the country she has zero business telling anyone how to live or feel or even what is wrong with them if they aren't consulted, asked or treating someone. She sounds like a self important ***. I am trying to think of something you could say to her at least if she does that again and I too am getting angry and when I get like that its so hard to keep my sarcasm out of the picture.....
Nice and brusque: " Thanks but I got this!"
Sarcastic: "wow, you give out free diagnosis's and therapy too?"
Firm: " I have spent X years researching this-and yes-without using web md- so I think I have a handle on the situation"
Sarcastic: "Wow, I am so glad you told me how to feel about my own experience- I'll text you next time and run things by you first, when I feel that I need your clarification"
Equally passive aggressive: "Woa..someone has issues"
Gossipy:"Ooo tell me more about this situation!"
Stinging&evil: " Does your partner/GF/BF know about these issues of yours?"
Brutally honest: " Thank you for completely missing the point of this entire exchange"
Cruel: " You are a complete and utter b**ch"
Honest:" You know, last time you gave me feedback, I felt like you ignored what I said and commented based on what YOUR feelings were and it was not accurate"
Really I am just being silly and I do not expect you to say any of that I just got all fired up. I am sorry your professional environment and obvious credentials are being blatantly ignored.
