Re: Re: OCD hand writing/reading BJ

I tried that today BJ. boy, let me tell you he has one bull dog of a

receptionist.

I couldn't talk to him. And when I asked what kind of treatment he uses for

children with OCD, she wouldn't tell me. She said if I wanted to know I would

have to make an appt. She then suggested I check the web site to see what

type of therapy he uses. So I asked if she had the web address.....guess what

her answer was.....NO.

Then I said I just want to know if he uses CBT/ERP...she said I've never

heard of it. Then told me he isn't taking new patients anyway, and that there

was a 4 month wait to be added to the list!

Didn't take long to decide this wasn't the Dr. for us. So we went another

route,

Hi, , just a thought here. If you are up for it, because I know

you don't feel well, often. . . You might call the doctor you are

waiting to see, and ask to speak to him. Many will do a phone

consult, for no charge. Then you can ask him if he uses CBT/ERP. I

interviewed a lot of therapists over the phone, in order to find the

one we are currently using. All were happy to speak to me. There

were only a few instances where the receptionist tried to put me off,

but I nicely insisted that I would prefer to talk to the doctor first,

before making an appointment. That way you don't have to wait so

long, just to find out he might not do the correct type of therapy.

Finding a qualified therapist can be so rough. :o/
