[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 658752, member: 14557"] Our confidentiality laws forbid health care providers admitting in anyway that certain person is their patient without release. And taking our call about Ache and listening would be indirect admission of him being his patient and thus at least very much in the grey area if not downright illegal for his therapist. Ache's psychiatrist advised him to give a release so we could report if we would see worrying signs of side effects when medications were tweaked and Ache even wanted us to be part of formulating treatment plan and so let the psychiatrist comment diagnosis etc. while me and hubby were also there. But of course he neither tells us anything Ache has actually talked with him about. To sport psychologist Ache has been given much laxer release (while he too is covered under the same laws) and he basically has Ache's permission to tell almost anyone that Ache is his client and talk things related to Ache to people to whom he feels need to. That is just very different job description, though even in that things directly related to sport performance and mental coaching are much more fair game and in other things sport psychologist is much more reserved. If we would push it, Ache would likely give also a therapist some form of release, but he has made it clear in the past he would not like to. And I kind of think that is a healthy boundary for him to draw and would hate to try to overstep when he does that. Drawing boundaries after all is something that tends to be difficult for him. And to my knowledge, or so Ache tells me, he has given release for therapist to consult psychiatrist and also sport psychologist, so they can call and talk about Ache to therapist if need arises, I guess. And IC, you are so right; it really is tough to sit and wait. And not something I would have any disposition either. I deal with difficult situation by planning, plan a, plan b, plan c, plan z and so on. Just sitting and waiting without ability to plan is excruciating for me. And unfortunately he has again added couple motivational quotes in line of 'I will raise above and show those people who didn't believe in me.' While in the surface they may seem okay or even appropriate to someone in his situation, the bitter and passive aggressive undertones are not good signs. [/QUOTE]
