In reply to Therapist-do I tell her of my p-doc appt., posted by rskontos on December 20, 2007, at 14:27:49
Hi Rsk,
Well, you can try to look at this way: we, each of us, are responsible for taking care of our health, mental and physical.
You going to see a pdoc is another step you are taking in trying to improve your mental health. I don't see how she can argue about going to see a pdoc when you clearly have a psychiatric mood disorder and want to reassure yourself you are doing all you can to help yourself get better.
If you are uncomfortable telling her, then don't.You don't need to get into an argument or meet resistance right now when you are trying so hard to get yourself help. Maybe wait until you actually see the pdoc and see what he says and you can judge better after speaking to him on your own whether your T is right about discouraging you or not.
