Dear Dr. EMDR Trauma Therapist,

Thank you for sending the reference suggestions for PTSD support. I’m sad to not be starting EMDR, and I’m glad to have discovered before beginning that this was not a safe fit for me to be vulnerable. Regarding the “ethical practice” reasoning for your firing me as patient, my understanding is that it is then also your ethical practice to connect me with another provider. In this case, ending contact after this message is what feels most supportive for my health.
