In reply to Pro-meds verses anti-meds therapists, who's right?, posted by sleepygirl2 on November 5, 2013, at 22:36:06
I tend to agree with Sigi. I find it often true that those who mention someone else's agenda aren't agenda-free themselves. It seems to me a good group therapist should *ask* about your own agenda and your own feelings about medications.
Now, if it is a recurring thing for you to talk about disliking medications and feeling pressured by your pdoc, that is a different matter. She is then responding to your own statement of feelings.
But you know, the important thing is never what others think about something that really affects only yourself. It's perfectly ok to let someone know you understand their feelings about something, and appreciate their concern, and will certainly consider their words. But that you'll do what you think is best for yourself and you'd appreciate it if they would respect that.
For myself, I like the idea of balance. I try to take as few medications as I can to be stable.
