All the psychologists (who deliver therapy) are CBT oriented. p-docs have psychodynamic training but they aren't really supposed to give therapy, they are supposed to prescribe medication.
I agree with all you say. CBT is not for me. I have made it clear that I don't want to do that again and other people seem to agree that it is not suitable for me. But getting anything else out of the public service seems to be fairly much impossible.
I saw a p-doc for the 'brief supportive' thing fortnightly last year. This year my current p-doc made a big deal of assigning time to see me weekly. But it is still the 'brief supportive' stuff.
And I have decided that despite what he says to my face he does not want to treat me. He is showing me that (fairly much on a weekly basis) in a horribly passive agressive way - via his behaviour.
'forgetting' to turn his phone off.
'forgetting' to turn up.
'forgetting' to do anything he has told me he would do during the week.I pull him up pretty much every time now.
Say 'you don't have to apologise, I am just bringing it to your attention so you realise that that happened'.
He swings between 'I am sorry' and 'I cannot defent myself, it is inexcusable' and vehemently defending himself 'management constraints *whine*'. I know it is hard for him too. I'm not mad at him. But I do think he is fairly hopeless. He sees me because he is concerned what I will do if I am not working with anyone.
