Ok, you've got me there. He does care. And he shows it all the time. I'm bursting with good stuff but afraid to post it...the harder it is for me the more I am aware that I'm lucky to have found him. It is a good fit.
However, I'm sorry to say that he has made it clear that he won't take anyone connected to me. Remember the thread about my space being invaded and the silly tantrum I was having because my friend's child was seeing one of his partners? It got worse, their whole family was referred to my therapist's wife for family therapy. I tried hard to not let it bother me, but ultimately I had a melt down about it, and this was BEFORE they even followed up on the referral. He took it out of my hands, said he was going to ask his wife to tell them she was full and give them other referrals. I said I felt horrible about that, like a brat. He said it wasn't my decision, it was how he runs his practice. That I need to feel completely safe to do the work we are doing and I won't if this situation persists. I was so relieved and yet I felt so stupid. I'm glad he could see how important this was to me.
So I guess the truth is I don't want to share and he won't make me. :) Sorry...
