>If you're doing both medication management AND therapy with pdoc, how long are your sessions?
I'd hate to lose out on therapy time because we had to talk about meds, too.My sessions are about 45 mins long. She doesn't talk about meds with me. She technically has never introduced a med to me. (Except 5 propranolol pills for when I was anxious) She just continues to write prescriptions for what my family doctor and pdoc2 gave me. All the times I've seen her, she gives me psychotherapy.
> Have you talked to pdoc about getting a therapist? What does she say? I think that's worth asking her, because you might find that you're both on different pages in what you're hoping to accomplish during your sessions.I asked her about what I'm going to do when I no longer see her and she told me that she's going to have to think about that. Otherwise I haven't bought up anything about seeing someone alongside seeing her. I'll bring it up next session, but I'm kind of afraid to. I feel like she might feel rejected. She's known me for nearly 5 years. She knows me very well and I feel like she has all the information needed to help me. With a new therapist I would have to start all over.
