I was just going to reiterate exactly that!Ah... I remember the feeling of being passed on...
All I can say is that IMO they are wise to consider how much they can help you (given their resource constraints of time limited therapy)
And they are kind to help you best they can (by taking you to the doc to get you an appoitment).I would say that they did it because they care.
Because they want you to get better.
And because they saw that you would have a better chance of working properly with someone who can help you
Give him a chance.
Really.
Little help can go a long way.
Either way...
You still have to help yourself as best you can.
But another perspective could help you out.
You could get a chance to properly learn some useful coping strategies.
You will have a back up support for when things turn to custard...
To help you get through those times.
But yeah, it does come down to you doing best you can either way.Hang in there :-)
