Whatever, but the EAP nurse (or whatever she was) spent the entire "session" trying to sell me on these naturopathic supplements for it, complete with a website to order it. WTF. Actually spent money buying some of them and trying them because I am an idiot, obviously to no avail. God I was annoyed. So I started lying to the HR moron that I was still using the EAP. It was free to the employee so you can bet it will be dogcrap service.
I can’t speak to all EAPs, however I’ve used the therapy offered from mine before and funnily enough it was my family doctors wife. She had reassured me, like any therapist, that the only time another person is notified is when there is immediate harm to yourself or others.

As for the quality of therapy I think it was good? I hope to never be an expert on ranking therapists or else things in my life have gone to ####.
