Not sure how many people....I didn't think to ask her. I was in group therapy once & I did NOT like the 'style' of the therapist. He was really gruff & strict & mean & my inner child was terrified of him. Once he gave me a really hard time about being scared to have my beginning-Alzheimers father-in-law come in our car with us to a wedding, because he'd 'come onto me' one day at his house. When it happened I totally 'flipped into' kid mode. Anyway, nothing happened - it was all verbal. I am quite sure I was a PBer then, maybe it was around 2000. Anyway, my little kid was terrified of being near him. This therapist really put me down in the groupo, and I arranged a one-on-one appt with him & 'called him' on it! Blasted him!!! YAY ME!! Anyway he actually apologized & said that he put on a different 'persona' in group. Darned right he did! I never went back.
I mentioned this to the doctor - just that a former doc had had a strict & mean persona in group. I just wanted to let her know that hadn't worked for me.
I'm quite looking forward to it!
I'll keep y'all posted.
hugs, kath
