#TherapyNoteControversy #TherapyIssues #SeekingAdvice
Hey friends, have you ever run into a situation where you needed a note from your therapist and it just wasn’t good enough for the powers that be? It’s frustrating, right? 🤦
I recently encountered this exact scenario where they asked me for a note on official letterhead signed by my therapist, or else I couldn’t continue therapy. It’s honestly messed up and I’m sure some of you can relate.
But fear not, here are a few possible solutions to navigate through this frustrating situation:
– Open communication is key: Talk to your therapist about the specific requirements needed for the note and see if they can make adjustments.
– Research alternative options: Look into different therapists or therapy clinics that might have more lenient policies regarding notes.
– Seek support: Reach out to others who have experienced similar issues for advice and guidance.
Let’s support each other through these challenges and find ways to overcome them together! 💪 #SupportingEachOther
Therapists don’t have official letterhead. Most of them are either working for a service or have their own private practice. Your employer is overstepping. Do they require proof from others that their appointments are valid? Fucked up is too gentle a term for this behavior.
That *cant* be legal holy shit. Call your local department of labor and ask about it
Call your local DoL, then inform HR that you have informed the DoL…and State Medical Board. Doctors hate this kind of shit from petty bureaucracies.
I would think that this isn’t legal. I can only imagine your company or your manager or whoever is hiding behind the idea that; “Well, unless there is letterhead, anyone can write a letter and sign it.” I guess that proves anyone can be a manager…
Since when do therapists have official letterhead
Just have your therapist’s office call your boss and confirm your appointment. Bonus points if you tell your therapist to tear a strip off of your boss’ ass for being an insufferable POS.
This is hostile and you should continue to attend therapy, and if you get fired, apply for unemployment as it was not for cause.
Are you US based and do you qualify for FMLA? If so get your therapist to complete FMLA paperwork for you. If not and you are in the US, do an ADA filing. In both cases you get the paperwork from your employer.
See if your therapist will get you approved for leave it will cover medical issues when you have to be away from work and protects your jobs
I would also ask the boss to specify _their_ specific requirements for the letterhead. Font? Card or textured paper?
