I am having a pretty hard time. I ended up getting some work hours from a friend of mine which was great. The problem is my therapist called in a welfare check on me because I did not respond to an email as quickly as I usually do. She left a message around 2pm Friday on my phone saying she would call the police if she did not hear from me by 4pm. I worked till 4pm and by the time I got the message outpatient services was closed and had no way of contacting her as she went on vacation the following week. So the police showed up which really pissed me off. I don't do well with police for any reason. I guess I am just worried that I am making a big deal out of nothing. It is not like I talked about hurting myself or others in our last session. I just don't know what made her so concerned as to call the police. I don't know it just feels like even when I don't do anything wrong I'm still not allowed live my life without constant supervision from others. It makes me question her motives like is she trying to help me to function so that I can get out there and do my part to better the community? Or is she bettering the community by keeping me under constant supervision? Aaaaaaah! I guess it doesn't matter it is over and only cost me a ten minute conversation with the police. Sorry I just needed to vent

She only gave you two hours?
That is not enough time at all.
Two hours is not reasonable

I think that its sad that your therapist didn't even consider the fact that you have a personal life, a job and called the police. She should have given you more time to respond. If you are functioning and working, why would she even think that there is an issue? I think that was quite a bit overbearing on her part.

Thanks guys I was worried I was losing my **** over nothing, but I felt I had a legitimate right to be upset. She knew I was working I did have to cancel an appointment that week but I had called and canceled through the appropriate channels and explained the reason. I do appreciate her concern for my well being but WTF give me a day to respond and exactly Chaotic, what the hell was issue anyway. The worst part is she is on vacation or at professional workshops or something so I can't contact her till next week and have to deal with it on my own. It is times like these I ****ing hate people

I think you have a legit reason to be upset. I honestly could say that I would be having words and finding a new T if mine did something like that to me.

If you haven't been unsafe and talking about harm or under a court order then it seems like she certainly jumped the proverbial gun here.

I would have a discussion about what has happened with her and find out what caused her to make that decision. I would also ask for a copy of her policies so that there will not be any confusion in the future..

I'm sorry this happened to you

That was my initial reaction but I felt it might be a good opportunity to work on some interpersonal skills with her, but I really don't know. I worked really hard on an email to her which I sent explaining how upset I was about this whole ordeal and honestly if she doesn't acknowledge or take some responsibility that this was unnecessary maybe I should be done and find someone new. It is just so frustrating

[alincdytyourmeds]

just a different point of view, but honestly I would love for somebody to care enough to check in on me.

Playing the devils advocate, but I'd rather my therapist to be a little overly concerned than not concerned at all. You have right to be upset though, she should have given you more time, and should have shown more respect in the way she handled the situation, not taking your welfare into her own hands rather than giving you tools to help you handle it yourself.

Thank her for her concern, but set some clear boundaries for next time so there is no misunderstanding. Get her mobile number so you can text her directly if she feels you could be potentially in danger, rather than having the drama of having the police around, which btw, would freak me out and make things MUCH worse than better.
