[QUOTE="klmno, post: 214518, member: 3699"] I don't blame you for being frustrated- I can't stand it when they do that either. I think it depends on the therapist, and what type of therapy they use. But, I would be very careful trying to play this with her/him in this situation. It sounds like you might have to just bite the bullet for a while. Ok, maybe if I couldn't just change to a therapist I liked and that used a different modality (correct word??), I might not answer questions thoroughly and if the therapist asked why, I'd say I didn't want to waste their time since I'd already provided them that info in writing. I can see myself doing that.... when my son's gal acted like she needed more info from me and that SHE was the one that would be providing the most respected recommendations to the court, I bombarded her with faxes of info on difficult child and his treatment and bipolar, etc. Then, I testified in court about things she knew nothing about and when asked why, I said it was because she never asked and gave me no opportunity to have a discussion with her about the real facts in my house but I felt the court needed to know. The gal asked to be withdrawn after that. Getting back to you, just try to bite your tongue and proceed cautiously- I know it's hard. Try to find a way to use this to your advantage and not give them any ammunition to use against you. [/QUOTE]
