In reply to My therapist on extended leave, posted by Dinah Seeks Support on March 7, 2014, at 20:23:20
Dear Dinah, I don't often come to the boards any more and have only just seen your message about your therapist. I just wanted to say that I think it is intolerable that you are not being allowed to know what has become of him.
You quite clearly have a strong relationship with him. A real relationship that has lasted twenty years. I am sure it is real for him too.
I think you have a right to know, no matter how terrible the news may be. You have a right to mourn if necessary.
I would insist with the agency if I were you, press them to give you enough details. Boundaries are supposed to be there to protect the patient, not to hurt them. Trust in the relationship you know you had with him.
When people go missing, the most terrible thing for the families is that they can't grieve. They need to know what has happened, they need the 'bones' to bury.
