Title: Fear of therapy: suicidal and homicidal thoughts Post by: dontknow2 on December 20, 2013, 07:37:43 PM Especially after latest news hype with gun control and mental health reporting, has anyone had to calm someone, who has suicidal and/or rare homicidal thoughts (both never acted on), fear of therapy due to the following? If so, do you have any suggestions?
1) Break of confidentiality: Authorities being contacted and/or being admitted 2) Recordings/notes coming back to bite later (i.e. in court) 3) Notes becoming available to insurance companies 4) Therapy not being effective due to omission of some details for protection Title: Re: Fear of therapy: suicidal and homicidal thoughts Post by: Surnia on December 22, 2013, 03:02:41 PM My thoughts are to point out to him that he could start with speaking about the suicidal thoughts, this should be "safe". As a first important step.
In my experience working with a T is always different from what I assumed it would be in the beginning.

Your advice is appreciated Surnia. |
