Elaine,
You don't need to tell us where you are. But, could you maybe Babble mail GG or someone else and tell her what state or country you are in? She might be able to research the rules and then tell you them by Babble mail. That way only one person will know where you are. You don't have to give the city or anything. I'm afraid I'm not real good at that or I'd offer to do it for you.
> It is hard for me to explain all my fears about my treatment trail, cause I'm worried that the few regulations I do know of, would give away where I'm posting from (I don't know why I'm so paranoid about that, but I am). There are certain circumstances where Drs can talk to other Drs without "express consent". And I guess I also worry how much this duty-to-report "sexual abuse" over-rides all versions of privacy (my talking to another, my files, my physician, I can't really know where it ends). The number she gave me was from the website I had already found. I suppose I could call one day to ask questions, but I don't have it in me right now. I wish I knew someone from my area who had done all this before.Have you gone to a web site that lists the boards and whether or not someone has complaints against them? You should be able to find out that information, and at the worst people will just think you are being thorough checking him out. I'm not asking you to make a complaint against him, I know that is too hard for you right now, just see if someone else has made one. I think you really need to know that.
A clean record doesn't mean he hasn't hurt anyone because he has definitely hurt you and you haven't turned him in.
> As far as not going with him tomorrow, I hinted that I didn't think I could make it, and he said that was fine because his son was coming to visit anyways. So, I'm proud I said it, but he probably would've cancelled himself if I waited till the end of the session. And I let him sit with his arm around me when I was talking instead. (that was harder than turning down his invitation) But it was fine I guess. And my sis is coming tomorrow so I won't have to think about other stuff. She doesn't believe in psychiatry and hates all my problems - so we never even mention things like that. We're not close but the change in routine will be nice.
I don't see how you do it! I'm so proud of you for telling him you wouldn't go. That was the right thing to do.
I hope you have a good time with your sister. Just try to do something fun you both like. Maybe go see a movie or go shopping or something.
Take care. You have a LOT of people who care about you.
