Aaaah yes, I did indeed have my therapists head on a platter for her 'encouraging' and 'supportive' comment... Her comment went down on my file and no clinician would work with me - they would cite that as the reason.
I complained (loudly and persistently) to her superiors and had meetings where I invited other people who had worked with me. The upshot was that they agreed that I had indeed improved quite significantly. The reason why I was not receiving treatment (it was finally admitted to me) was that funding was very, very tight and also they did not have someone currently on board who was suitable (I realise that I do need to see someone who is perhaps uncommonly secure in themselves - and who has experience and flexability).
Didn't get an apology though..
> Sometimes I'm glad I have to pay for healthcare. It makes me more of a customer than a consumer.Indeed. Unfortunately it costs far too much for me to be able to see a professional. It costs as much for me to pay to go to an hour session privately as it costs me in rent, phone, and food each week. Maybe you do indeed get what you pay for, however. I don't know...
