Sounds like the clinic has this policy in order to enhance care for the client. Open communication between the professionals sounds like a good thing. I know Kiya that you have explained why this triggers you because of your family background. Fighting the system sounds exhausting. When your family was doing this to you it was dysfunctional and not helpful. The clinic is doing this to be helpful. Sounds like a lot of energy and time is being spent to fight this. Why not just work on this trigger and feeling safe with this?
