When I read this
>T: You have problems with substance abuse and I absolutely do not work with clients with substance abuse issues.
Me: WHAT?! What substance abuse
T: Your drinking
Me: Youre calling ONE glass of wine at night, substance abuse?!!!!
T: I have a voice-message where you sounded very inebriated and you mentioned how youre an adult and you will drink if you want to.-So, I believe she is over-exaggerating this substance abuse issue, because I have never called her drunk. I was crying and upset; not drunk. Never drunk. How could she even say something like that. I told her I dont get drunk and did not call her while drunk and she said I was in denial. WTHeck!!! Is she going to make up issues for me just to say she doesnt work with them and then send me packing? How the heck should I handle this?
I thought, oh come on, goodness me, what planet etc etc. I would not be comfortable with that either. I've given you some idea of the kinds of things my psych and I say to each other, whether it is (as you rightly suggested) much use to me or not. It's one of the good things about getting older....people stop trying to save you and even eventually treat you like an adult.
