[Yeah, that's more or less what he expected and doesn't particularly want to hear. Read. John considers just ending the conversation with an evasive 'I'll tell them to give you a call,' but one last go at it.]
There are some trust issues to go along with the anger, I'm afraid. They've not had the best experiences with therapists in the past and I think it's colored things. Getting them to talk at all is like pulling teeth. As soon as you try to treat it like anything clinical, they tend to get short, evasive. That sort of thing.
