Respect for the Therapist/Patient Relationship

Therapist: “Just so you know, I do not read your blog. As your therapist, I think it’s a conflict of interest, and actually a patient privacy issue. So if we’re ever in a session and you refer to something you’ve written about, just know I haven’t already read it– not because I don’t WANT to, but out of respect for the doctor/patient relationship.”

Me: “Oh my gosh, of course, I totally get and respect that you don’t read it– that makes complete sense!”

Bitch.

  1. That’s because you’re my jewish mother, and you don’t believe there is anyone out there in the universe who wouldn’t want to read something I wrote.

    And I love you for that.
