BSD,
I had to smile when you wrote about assertive women. I'm probably the least assertive person you'll ever meet - when pdoc phoned to arrange my last appointment he gave a time and I wasn't sure if I heard him correctly (1:40 or 2:40) but was too afraid to ask so instead of phoning again I sat for an hour yesterday in the waiting room to make sure I didn't miss the appointment. If assertiveness were a defining characteristic then I wouldn't qualify. I didn't part with pdoc 1 on bad terms. He said he liked me and wished me the best with the future. I told him that there were some language problems (which was true - his English wasn't that good) and that I felt it might be good if I saw a pdoc who was from the same orientation as my therapist. I honestly don't think there were any bad feelings when I stopped seeing him.
The thought of opting for a female pdoc has crossed my mind - I'm going to do some research.
Thanks for the feedback.
Witti
