[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 319016, member: 1991"] I'm wondering if this is the therapist's way of saying, "Yes, I do happen to be leaving, but actually I will be glad to not take your child as a client so please don't fuss, I'd rather walk away." I don't know, it's just a guess. I also agree, in a situation like yours you should be able to go to the practice owners and say, "We've had a very hard time finally building up a connection at last with a therapist we're finally happy with and now they're leaving and tell us that they've had to sign a clasue saying that won't transfer any patients - the chances of you replacing this person with someone who our child can connect with is, on the face of it, unlikely. Can you release the therapist from this clause particularly with respect to my child? Please be aware we are making this request without the knowledge and approval of this therapist, who didn't want to cause any difficulties for you. But unless you can assure us that there would be someone of equal capability and connectedness to our child (and nobody can guarantee that before the fact since the fit between client and therapist is so individual) that chances are, we'd be needing to leave your practice anyway as we go searching yet again for a therapist our child can work with." Again, I don't know how this would be received. Your main aim is to have a good ongoing relationship with a therapist for your child. You do what you have to do in order to have this. Writing a letter after she's asked you not to could damage the relationship with this therapist. But not writing the letter means saying sayonara anyway. Writing the letter could also burn your bridges with this practice who just MAY have a brilliant replacement in the wings. It's not an easy choice and we can't make it for you, since there are so many other factors. But at least we can help you brainstorm! Marg [/QUOTE]
