My Psychiatrist told me I was neurotic?

Posted by jda1292 on October 24, 2002, at 18:06:35

I have been getting treatment for Panic Disorder for the past 7-8 years and my new psychiatrist is cool. I was telling her about some bad job experiences from the past and that I am currently unemployed. I have been on interviews etc.., but I am looking in another field.
She asked if I minded if she made some constructive and possibly offensive criticism. I said no problem, I like to grow.
She told me that there are alot of issues that she thinks I still have with my family? Whats new? I hope that this will be constructive and not some technique to get me in for weekly sessions?
Has any had any CBT for being neurotic? She told me that she is an oddball to and is going to try and help me with my career, but it was kind of scary when she told me I have some serious issues to work out?
I have a great immediate family, I am good to my wife and kids, but my upbringing sucked. I got through school and have had professional jobs but things are not working out lately. Any ideas about the "Neurotic" label. I am hoping that this will be constructive?
Thanks
jda
