and to clarify again...
the reccomended rates for private practice...
is just about twice the price she said she charges students.
of course i don't know what *her* standard rate is. but then i know the *standard rates* are typically part subsidised by medicaid or medicare or whatever the f*ck it is called and so i guess they inflate them a bit because of that and the part cost to the client is thus manageable and everyone is happy (I don't qualify for as international)
so i'm thinking that isn't much of a consession / discount.
but i don't really know...
she seemed to think she is the only one in this region who specialises in DID.
i know for a fact that isn't true (met someone when i was here last time - met her socially but she is a clinical psychologist and she said she was treating a case - but i don't want to contact her 'cause i met her socially.... and we got to drinking.... and i think she regretted spilling her guts about her clients as much as she did.... not that there was anything identifying or disrespectful.... or maybe i made an *ss of myself or something.... 'cause i think she avoided me.....)so anyway. my point is that i'm not so sure. i asked her if she could foward the email on to other people who might be in a position to meet with me. she said she was the only person. i know for a fact she isn't. you would think she would have heard of others. so i'm not so sure about her... maybe i do need to make a couple more inquiries...
