> Cindy,
> One of the most helpful sessions I had with my last pdoc was one where I (with alot of help and some roleplaying) finally discussed some of my doubts and dissatisfactions with him. That session proved to be useful not only in my work with him, but has helped me be more open with my current pdoc. I'm also going to have a similar discussion with my primary care doc. I would really rather just move on, but both my therapist and pdoc insist that she deserves to be asked about my concerns and given a chance to explain herself before I give up. I guess I will try to put my assertiveness training (all sixty-leven sessions) to work. I know when I got fired last, I was most upset that my boss used a memo instead of doing it face to face. This sounds like a real, if painful, opportunity for growth whatever you decide to do after this session.
> I have also felt invisible, even unreal, when my posts are not responded to time after time. QuilterQuilter, you are probably right, that I should go talk to my therapist before giving up. It's scary though to go back. I've told him things I've never even told my s.o. or best friends. I care deeply about what he thinks about me and feel I've failed him if I can't just do what he suggests. But I will probably go back. You're right about feeling invisible when nobody responds.--Cindy W., invisible with a scarlet A on her forehead
