I'm amazed at the timing of this thread. I've just spent the day with my mother (who is a T) going from doctor to doctor trying to figure out why she completely lost her hearing overnight. Answer for now? We just don't know. She's totally deaf and no one can tell us if it's reversible.
So, now I'm in the unenviable position of being the one to call my mother's clients. She was emotionally unavailable to me growing up and we still have major issues, so it's very hard for me to put on the empathy hat and understand what her clients (who may love her as much as I love my T) will want and need to hear.
What would you want to know if you were her client? How much should I tell? What questions do you think I should be prepared for? I know my mother should be the one to tell me these things, but she is a basketcase right now and I'm going to be left pretty much to my own devices.
