(If so, it'd be helpful if the organisations in question would say as much, and acknowledge that a requirement for notes that are both comprehensive descriptions of session contents, and comprehensible-to-non-psychologists, is hardly going to be legitimate in much of the private practice context.)

This is where the therapist must make a decision. It doesn’t mean the therapist is comfortable with the possible degree of risk. If the one who has been violent and/or controlling refuses to attend or afterwards refuses to allow communication between their partner and therapist to review progress, those are red flags.

The person seeking to make the referral explained that the person always thinks they know more than the therapist. As a therapist It is important to know one’s own limits and demonstrate boundaries. Even for therapists. I declined the referral. There is no room for the input of another when one is so full of themselves.

She said that previous therapists had said her background was the most extreme they have ever heard. Hearing that, my concern was that she worried about overwhelming the therapists. Sometimes therapists do get overwhelmed by the stories told to us by the folks we serve. I don’t know. They may have been. Vicarious trauma.

Sometimes I am the third or fourth therapist. I ask who between them didn’t like the previous therapists. The other is continuing to therapist shop, hoping to find one that can finally break through to their partner not taking responsibility. Sometimes they have seen more before calling me. Thing is, neither may change.

She went to see a therapist. The therapist pressed on the initial sense of familiarity. The therapist wondered where that came from. The therapist explored the relationship between her parents. Seemingly safe, the therapist suggested she let her partner know some of her preferences to test the water.
