Hi Beth. I saw you reference this thread in the bipolar forum, so came here since this topic is one I can truly relate to from the past. I'd write more, but my time is limited and I type only 10% the speed on my phone compared to my laptop. And with many more typos.

You driving past her house is far from unusual, in cases of transferance, which is what it clearly is. I did the same with my past psychiatrist. After all is said and done, you should not feel bad about this, unless a crime was committed, which wasn't. Yes, boudaries were broken, and I believe your therapist was at most fault. My suggestion is to quit her, after reading your detailed story. I also think there are needs you have that must be addressed and they are nothing to feel ashamed about at all! I truly feel for you since you've only recently had a horrible experience with a bad psychiatrist, and had to find new. At this time, you deserve a stable mental healthcare team. I realize that starting new therapeutic relationships, themselves, is a huge stress. Asking how often a potential new tdoc cancels is a legitimately good question. Hugs

I feel I wrote too little above, but it's all I can now.
