What kind of IC gives a patient a mediation reference before reccomending family therapy?

God I hate personal therapists.. they are all idiots.

I have said this about his IC all along, but of course he loves her. Ugh.

Memorize the statements, put them on an index card and keep them in your pocket...when HE pushes a convo... YOU don't.. HE does.. You slip your hand in your pocket hold onto the card and recite the line that you need.. its not that hard really...

Love this. I did a lot of theatre in high school and college. And this would be a good approach for me. Actually, I have taken some of the statements you've listed and used them today and they helped me get through some hard conversations. I'll see if I can do this before the next time I might have to use it.
