Wanting your T

Yeah, it is weird that I didn't have to sign anything or my parents didn't have to sign anything, and it was strange that there were really no guidelines set on when my parents should contact her. I'm not sure what the rules are though so maybe it's okay.

It's honestly only okay if you say it's okay. She is bound by HIPAA privacy laws that specifically prohibit what she is doing. But you're the one who would need to complain, so in a way it's up to you.

Oh. Well I doubt I would complain about it. I found the whole thing a little odd. But my T is a little odd. And you all know that I am odd. So I guess it's okay. HUGS kit

My new T said recently... Sometimes the biggest difference is made by those who are 'willing' (not sure that's the word she used) to bend the rules slightly. I know that was the case with my last T. I think the tightrope therapists walk between helping/doing harm is very thin, but good communication, knowing each other (as much as we can ever know a therapist) and working together are key to ensuring that things stay ok the helpful side. Not sure that made any sense, but I hope it did. I'm glad you found the visit helpful SK and I hope that going forwards things keep working out for you. I like your 'my T is odd and so am I', because that's how I felt about working with my old T. I needed something over and above what most therapists would feel comfortable with, and she was able to provide it, and it changed my life. Hugs.

Wow...what if your parents were actually currently abusive towards you, but you don't recognise it, and your T did this?

I'm seriously concerned that your T did this.
