I'm sorry, Kiya. I didn't mean to upset you. Of course you need to go to a place that you can afford. Maybe ask yourself if all those professionals are necessary. If not, maybe you can eliminate some of them and reduce some sources of the unwelcome cross-talk. I thought Osteopaths and MDs provided much of the same services. Could you drop osteopath and just use MD? Could you drop acupuncturist? Maybe your social worker could help. She might know of low cost services outside of the clinic, such as a coping skills group or another social worker. Maybe you should share the problem with her and see what she suggests. If she manages your case, she may have some leverage there to help improve things for you. I'm just throwing out ideas. I guess it really all depends on how much the professional cross-talk bothers you. Maybe you could call a meeting of all your professionals. Get them all together, tell them the problem, and ask them to brainstorm ideas on how to solve the problem. Sometimes 5 heads are better than 1. Maybe they would come up with something you haven't thought of. If it's too hard for you to call a meeting, maybe social worker could organize it for you. Another idea would be to make just one change: a new T outside of the clinic. It seems like a lot of the information flow that bothers you is from the other professionals to your T. If you move to a T outside the clinic, you could keep all the other professionals and they wouldn't be allowed to talk with the outside therapist unless you signed a release. I know you like your T, so that's probably out of the question, but it would cut down on the unwanted information flow.
