Firstly, they don't even know me or my therapeutic needs, yet they're saying I have to see someone *weekly* when, quite frankly, I do fine biweekly. Secondly, it seems like a cash grab on their part and it makes me wonder if they're a bunch of quacks.
As for my former therapist -- yeah, I understand what you're saying about sexual trauma and the like. I honestly don't know why he did it. All I said was, "I was cleaning my room and then I put a bunch of stuff on my bed during the organization process, so now I can't sleep on my bed until I clean it." Then he was like, "I never let my bed get that way, even during organizing. I need my bed clean for masturbation or it gets distracting," and started talking about it. It was totally weird and random... but that's what I mean when I say I didn't bring up anything sex related.

Yeah, I hear you. There are only a few providers in my area and none of them have restrictions like that. My pdoc has no requirement that I see a therapist at all actually. I wonder if they would reconsider if you had a letter from your therapist stating that you see her regularly and that you're doing well there and shifting might affect you negatively.
Yeah, that is so far beyond ok. He sounds like a predator to me actually.
