It's funny how differently we all react. I did therapy with my p-doc for a few years, when, at his urging, I started to see a DBT therapist. She had me sign a form to talk to him, which seemed very natural to me, since he was both my primary therapist and prescribed meds. When I went through this month-long anxiety attack, for which he would not prescribe benzos because of my prior issues with addiction, she called him and convinced him to prescribe a benzo. He has never given me any form to sign, yet he calls her every couple of months to check in and see how she feels I am doing. I never gave permission for this. He just does it. When I was suicidal, he called my husband more than once without my permission. It never has bothered me. I feel good that they all care enough about me to keep in touch. Grateful even.
