New questions:
>
> How often is it "OK" to call your therapist, After hours? During business hours?He says "call me when you need me." I think they know when a crisis is brewing. I'd say, not on their vacation. And probably not religious holidays. (Do you know their religious affiliation?)
>
> Does your therapist ever make mistakes? What was the worst one? Did you tell them?
>
Only one but my experience is short. He missed a cue to ask a key question and I was REALLY upset because I didn't want to "volunteer" it...it was however, among the most powerful discussions we've had. When I was interviewing therapists to get started, one wanted to hold hands with me and do this whole "intimate" exercise about how I need to trust people. Watch me RUN from her office!!!> Are you jealous of their other clients?
>
Never. But I am curious about his caseload.> Have you searched on the internet for them (my personal favorite)? Driven past their house? Do you know what kind of car they drive? Do you know the car's license number?
Yes to the internet. No to the rest.
>
> What DO they want from us???????
I think they want us to trust them to help us get better.Another question:
What are their therapy experiences? How do they view us? And, do we really want to know?
