re: letter- do you mean the offending shrink? I often write my shrinks or therapists because I have a lot of difficulty with confrontation, and for me it helps to get the problem out by writing it and then it's even better when I actually give it to my therapist because it opens discussion of the problem. As far as the relationshop with my ex-shrink, it's been over 3 years but I still have a lot of residual problems with trust in particular (with male shrinks). The APA has clear guidelines about physical relationships with patients, I did not want to press charges but I did need to work things out so a mediator (another shrink) was brought in for as long as I needed it. I wrote him letters, I was hysterical for a long time, and actually attempted suicide. It was not a great time. Hope things work out for you- judy
