it seems that finding a T that challenges you has made you look at the relationship with your pdoc which is a good thing. that has happened to me recently.
i have probably had about 5 T's and 5 pdocs in the course of 15 years.
i finally found a T that challenges me intellectually. i went to a new pdoc associated with the school i'm at and i finally realized that he was just status quo and that he was a twit. i started looking elsewhere and asking around. i found a guy who sat and talked with me for an hour and 15 minutes and for once he got me. he was the first pdoc that pointed out that my 15 year struggle with depression and my burnout on about 8-10 SSRI's combined in various combos could be an indication that i have atypical depression and maybe we should try a different approach.
NO SH*T
you sound intuitive, savvy, and that you've been around the T and pdoc block. my recent experience made me realize that there are good pdocs out there and i just wish i started looking for them earlier. i guess i just always thought i was a lost cause.
good luck. follow your instincts. you have good ones. you know what your weakness' are and you know your strengths. let us know how it goes.
