Title: ExBPD Therapist request to me
Post by: JQ on April 02, 2016, 10:07:41 AM
Hello Group, 

So I'm going through my emails this morning and I received a request from my exBPD therapist via the website to join my "professional connections" and I'm not really sure how to respond to the request. I'm somewhat confused & actually at a loss for words?

Why would they request to join "MY" network?

What would be the advantage or disadvantage of such a connection for my professional connections?

Is there a secondary motive to this request currently unknown to me?

Is it a way for a "3rd party" to obtain additional information on me to help in his therapy session with my exBPD or is this a little paranoid?

Is this even ethical giving the fact that he is ... .or at least was treating my exBPD ... .not sure if he still is or not?

Please feel free to put out any and all ideas, thoughts and suggestions you might have. I'm really not sure where I was to put this thread but wanted to bounce it off you, "my group ... .my people" ... .lol ... .to get your thoughts on it.  What if the request came to you?  What would be your thoughts on it?

I'm scratching my head ... .

thanks in advance for your thoughts & inputs

J

Could be just a way to make the profile more visible.  I do find it odd though and if it were me I would decline.

If you feel uncomfortable you should decline for sure. Go with your gut!

Is it a specific request to you or has your email address just ended up on their circulation list?
