That's interesting, that she required you to see a T. How did you feel when she told you that? __________________ |

I have never hired a psychiatrist and I never would go near one of them, but I absolutely would never let the therapist speak to anyone else. Ever.

Mine did once--I signed consent forms, and he told me before I saw her some of what they'd discussed.

Personally I think they tried to make it a requirement to see a therapist just to make money I had to see their therapist for one session they try to get me to keep seeing him but I said no I'm going to stick with the one I have so my psychiatrist required me to let them talk for the first few sessions

So the conversation happened something like this:
Pdoc passes T in the hall, while T goes to get her office mail. My name is mentioned briefly, PTSD is mentioned briefly, maybe my anxiety is mentioned. Briefly. I don't know what I thought was going to happen. But I talked to T about it this week. She said it could have gone better if she had known beforehand that I'd asked Pdoc to talk to her. She also wondered how knowing if I have PTSD would change the way we are doing therapy now. I guess I feel disappointed. He knows me for a few years; she knows me for over 30. I felt he invalidated what happened to me. He said we need to work on the current stressors. He didn't seem to understand how my current stressors are directly a result of what happened to me from about age 3 onward, in particular the abuse and neglect I suffered as a child. I didn't feel any comfort from Pdoc. T said she thinks he would respond positively if I told him how I feel. I'm not holding my breath. But one thing I've learned is that I have to ask both of them to speak to each other about me. Then they won't be caught off-guard. __________________ In a world where you can be anything, be kind. ; |

Mine does, since they work in the same office, which is the way I like it.
