Thanks, Daisy, for that perspective. It's true.She is a solo practitioner, but she is very anal about paperwork and stuff. Which is probably good in any case but it makes me a little angry because it reminds me that she cares more about her *ss than anything else. or rather, than me. :(
as for your point about her writing back, I don't think she will, but maybe I should have specifically asked her not to.
now i'm wondering if i should send a follow-up. ugh.
> I think your email might provide closure. Hopefully she won't respond with a "I said, you said" clarification - it will just get defensive and I think you are both parting with some regrets and yet knowing that much of the work you did was good.

It isn't just legal stuff, it provides a paper trail for billing and filing and a bunch of other things. Too many times the therapist is the only one who knew that there had been a client change, and admin really does need to know, unless she is a solo practictioner. And we do have a "standard" form letter that is individualized but contains some required information.
