Re: re: advice - suggestions appreciated - op (Phyllis Nobles Tn ?)

[Guest guest]

Hi and thanks,

We are switching therapists after 2.5 yrs because the previous constantly missed

appts, never really worked w erp, and behaved unprofessionally - cried because

my dd questioned her many cancellations and she (therapist) has " illnesses " and

told me re: dd homosexuality thoughts " that's all she ever talks about anymore,

she either will be or wont be, I think we need to start focusing on social

skills " (after the crying incident)

The feedback on the new woman (who is almost an hr away but only OCF therpist

avail in the state) was that she said caffiene is good for OCD and apparently

was not enthusiastic about homeschooling (which we do) and also rec. the child

seek out a church group (they are not Christian nor are we)

So....my dh suggested at our first appt this week I start off by letting her

know that we homeschool and are not Christian, will that be an issue - what do

you all think - can I start off like that?

ps: The other mom did msg me back saying that it was just an observation and

opinion on her part and she thinks this woman is more suited for other

particular types of OCD treatment rather than " pure " or " bad thought " ocd but

that basically I should not be jaded by her remarks and she is , for now,

continuing to go to this therapist.

Thanks for any advice, suggestions.
