Aphrodite, after thinking about it, I think the others may be right. Once you already have negative feelings about someone, it may be too late to salvage the relationship. I left the pdoc from h*ll for that reason.
But I *do* think that many many pdocs are like that, and I protected myself from bad feelings about my new pdoc by limiting my vulnerability. I didn't tell him anything that wasn't symptom or side effect. I told him bare bones history having more to do with symptomology than anything personal to me. I chose someone who was unaffiliated with my therapist, and resisted giving my therapist permission to contact him.
I consider most things about me none of my pdoc's business.
With those parameters in place, I think I could get along with a fair number of pdocs. My therapist doesn't think it's a great idea, but it really worked for me.
