Once I again I concur with you JohnX2.
My Psychiatrist won't even 'do' therapy with me..we chat a bit about what is going on in my life and she REFERS to my Psychologist on things pertaining to me. See...I got my Psychologist through my shrink; her and he work together for their patients. In an 'ideal world' that would be, in my opinion, the way things should go.

I had to go through my insurance company...they gave me a list of pdoc's that were covered by my insurance, and I called ALL OF THEM and got in to the first one on my list. Thankfully she has worked out real well for me. I also think seeing a therapist might be a good step for some people out there too. Pamela Lynn
