I'm Curious, Is It Common in the Us?

In the united states, in a private practice or group practice level, it's not common to have contact with somebody before the session. In australia as well? Or is it more like a doctor, were you to set up the appointment and show u, ye, i thin you are in time without that. It's interesting for me, as a clinition, to kind of straddle these two worlds. I've always it funny when i have these conversations with folks who are coming from feedback in form treatment. And my view is that we shouldn't be burdening people on that part of recovery. We should do our best to see how much fast food will solve all your problems
