Daisy,
I'm sorry you had such an upsetting time with your pdoc. It sounds like she is on an entirely differnt page about this kind of work than your T. And I think you need to trust your T on this and not her. He is the one doing the work with you, not her. She is just a med consultant. If she can't help you with meds, then I think she should bow out. Did you ask her opinion about therapy? I don't know, I think I want to strangle her, too.I do understand not wanting to bring out your fear about clingy clients right before you have to have reduced contact. But I do think you should bring it up. He referred her, after all. I think he needs to know that she would say something like that. And I think she was saying that SHE eventually doesn't like clingy clients. She really has no right to speak for any other T or pdoc.
I wish there was a way to look up in an encyclopedia to check that this way is the RIGHT way. Wouldn't it be nice to have that reasurrance? I guess the next best thing is to trust your gut, your incredible brain, his gut, his brain, and Babble. Probably in that order.
Take care, sweetie.
