Has anyone had a pdoc who did therapy with them too, and then you decided to go down from that to just med checks? I have decided not to continue the therapy component with pdoc anymore, it was actually hurting me more than helping towards the end. However, I would like to still see him just for med checks. He said ok and our next appointment is just going to be a straight med check. (I will continue therapy with my therapist.)
Has anyone else made this type of "downgrade"? I am wondering, is it easier said than done or did it work smoothly? What is a good way to make sure the transition sticks and not slip into the old role/set-up?
Once there is a therapeutic relationship, can the therapy part be taken out of the equation, leaving the doctor part? I hope so, but I am wondering if anyone else has done this too. thanks.
