Cleo's File Notes: I have perceived concern from a couple of my fans that I may be compromising the trust or privacy of clients, by writing these stories. I can assure you that I am not. I would never use an open file for any purpose other than for which it was intended. I have taken great care to obtain written permission from only clients with "closed" files before using any of their material. I change their names and locations to insure their privacy is protected at all times. On occasion, I have combined more than one file because they are similar in nature or have over-lapping information. I am contacted frequently by old clients who have corrected, or at least faced their behavioral patterns, and successfully moved on with their lives, telling me how much I helped them in this endeavor. Some of them want to share their experiences with others - anonymously.
I cannot possibly answer the many emails I receive, but I assure you I do read them all. The number of emails is overwhelming to say the least. Thanks for the encouragement and constructive criticism for those who had sent supporting comments. I also get emails with venomous scorn from a few who have nothing of value to say other than name calling. Others offer critiques for which I am grateful, or praise, for which I am humbled. Since the beginning of time there has been sexual behavior and a value judgment placed upon it by others with different proclivities. If a sexual situation can be thought of, trust me, it has been tried. Most people have no problem with this but a few have serious feelings of guilt and seek help in order to deal with them. That's what I do. When I cannot help them adjust, I always refer them to a trained Psychiatrist for treatment. Many refuse to go, but some do, and the result is good.
