And the response was...
>All that you say is not poor judgement, it is true. I have to tell you that I did not receive an answer till late on friday but that does not change the the core issue - I am not providing you with the ingredients for a trusting therapeutic relationship, for whatever reason. The reply was that referral to Ashburn will discussed in the new year.
>What are the options to deal with our current therapeutic difficulties?
>a) I submit that I have very little time in the community and this is a is a major factor. If I am unable to provide your treatment, then it is imperative I request another clinician to take over care on a more consistent basis. This is difficult but not impossible.
>b) I will be free of most of my caseload from the beginning of February and then can provide consistent care if you accept.
>I do feel annoyed at myself for treating you such but also frustrated at the constraints of time that has been imposed on me by management.
>I am comfortable with whatever you decide.
I can't help feeling that (a) is a pseudo-option really. I mean, he made it painfully clear to me (over and over) that he was only working with me because nobody else would. But I guess it is better to work through things than it is to run away. See if the problems persist through Feb. anyway. And thats only if Ashburn falls through, I guess. So now it is back to the waiting...
