The therapist from a few weeks ago...who I just mailed an ethics complaint about...well, he just called me. He called my work phone and I don't have caller ID so I just picked it up, not realizing. I couldn't really talk since I was at work.

He wanted to set up an appointment. I said okay. I'm set up for Friday at 5:30 PM.

Ok...uhm...now what. On one hand, I really really really really REALLY need to get some help like NOW, not two weeks from now (when I have an appointment with someone else).

But on the other hand...do I really want to go back there?

I already mailed that complaint form. Maybe I can call the ethics people and say "uh, nevermind" and tell them to just throw it away. If he finds out I was going to report him, that won't be good.

I don't know what to do. Maybe I just overreacted maybe he didn't mean things the way I took it. Maybe I'm just hyper sensitive to that kind of thing. I don't know what to think.

He's the only PhD for 50 miles. All the other therapists I've been calling barely have 2 years of experience. He does group therapy. Nobody else I've called yet does. He works in the same building as the psychiatrist who I might end up seeing in May if she ever gets an opening. So I think they work together.

Ok - do I go back? Do I say anything about that last session? I did send him an email like 3 days after. He didn't say anything about it on the phone, and he hasn't replied to the email.

And why would he suddenly call back today - almost 2 weeks after?
