I'd look for someone else and ditch this one. You don't need to convince him of anything. He sounds far less than appealing.
Although honestly, I've taken the route your therapist has advised. Neither of my latest two pdocs encouraged any individual sharing beyond symptoms and side effects. Neither has any interest in speaking to my therapist, or in hearing from me really. The latest one frankly terrifies me. But the selection around here is not extensive, and this one prescribes a combination that is working for me, and also prescribes therapy. I don't much care for him, but I only see him five minutes every three months, so I can deal with it.
If your pdoc is technically skilled and prescribing a combination that works as well as can be expected, maybe it is best to just put up with him, and not listen overmuch to anything he says that isn't directly related to meds.
