So that is the verdict then? Did you hear back from the APA already? Give him a chance to explain what he was thinking?

I have not heard back yet - at least not on my specifics. They did give me the reports that said his license is valid and he has never been disciplined by the state board. I sent an email on Friday with more details and I haven't heard back yet.

I had an appointment with him tonight, 5:30. I cancelled - my husband is working tonight and I need to pick up our daughter from daycare (really). I did also send a short email to that therapist on Friday basically asking why he had to get so detailed so early.

Let me remind you...it was only my 2nd visit with this therapist. He doesn't know my entire history yet. Yes, we were discussing some impulsive behavior but I really think he went too far. I don't know.

Either way...I just don't feel comfortable going back there. My appointments are after-hours because of my work schedule, and that building gets empty by 5:01. I know it's slightly irrational but I'm scared he could do something since no one would be around. It's an independent office...not even a receptionist.

Anyway...enough of that. I just need to forget about it and move on.

I do have an appointment Tuesday on my lunch break with a different therapist. I already feel better about this one in one sense - he's married, and works with his wife in a shared office - she's a doctor / pain specialist. And they have a receptionist. So...I'd just feel a little safer if you kwim. Wish me luck....

One problem is I can't just ask on the phone if they've dealt with Borderline patients, because I've never officially been diagnosed, and it's bad to self-diagnose before you get in there. I'm just crossing my fingers hoping this guy will at least try and help.
