[QUOTE="klmno, post: 190757, member: 3699"] My 2 cents- it was a strong reaction, but it would have rubbed me the wrong way too if he was assuming that you'd had or do have a problem with drugs or alcohol. If it was a standard form indicating that "any applicable documents from therapies as listed below need to be sent" that wouldn't have bothered me. It sounds like the real question though is whether or not to continue with this therapist. Only you can answer that but I COMPLETELY understand the frustration over having a hard time finding a comfortable fit. If I hadn't had a good one for myself years ago who I loved dearly and helped me make drastic changes in my life, I would have given up finding the right one for difficult child by now. And, I've been wondering if maybe they are just turning almost anybody out to be a therapist these days- I've ran across a few that don't have as much common sense as half the people seeking counseling. Anyway, I think it's best to follow your gut on that one. If you aren't sure, go back with a list of questions/concerns and see how he addresses them. That is what I'm doing with the current therapist that I'm "screening" before I even take difficult child in. [/QUOTE]
