A member asked:
I want to go to my therapist once a month. can i tell her that i am a kleptomaniac and that i tried cocaine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Once a month is: pretty ineffective for any kind of therapy. Generally, if there are significant psychological/emotional problems, the MINIMUM would be once weekly, and even more may be warranted. Unless you are feeling cravings for using Cocaine again, am not sure that the fact you "tried" Cocaine is all that relevant, but kleptomania certainly is. A therapist can't help if you don't tell them the truth.
