This scenario would make me uncomfortable.First, I would probably not have said anything about the blackberry while I was there but would have been extremely offended by it. Unless she was using it to take down notes and is, for some reason, gravely opposed to the pen and pad note taking method.
Even if a T is retired they can still be contacted regarding past patients? Then what is the point of retiring? I could see if you were just switching Ts. It seems a little odd that she would want to contact your retired T and then say she doesn't know why.
I could see a T saying the "only not as bad as yours" comment. I don't think it was the best thing to say to someone in the initial interview phase. She doesn't yet know how her comments will affect you. I think the wording choice was poor judgment.
Being experienced doesn't make a good T. And I have found that colleagues are biased and do not view each other as we would as their patients. Just because she comes from a recommendation does not mean her mind is still in the game. She may be burned out. Or her "experience" may have taught her to lose interest.
You may be able to find a referral for a trauma T through your nearest psych er or intensive treatment center.

>"I have no idea why I didn't have the confidence to say something right then and there."That really doesn't sound like the rnny I've seen. You just don't seem like the hesitant type. I'm getting the feeling this T resonated with you and you may be intrigued by her nature? That happens and can be as quickly as within the first few minutes. Even her office setup could have contributed. Of course I could be way off base.
