> is there possibly a blurring of responsibility between your pdoc's responsibilities and your view of them and what she saw/sees them as being? if she's no longer your doc, i'd move on and work it out with your psychotherapist as that is thier essential function. maybe some barriers were crossed-still i think the best thing is to move on using the avenues that are still open to you. any of this ring true?

Well yes. This is the essential question. Would these matters best or most effectively be resolved by the therapist with whom I experience transference? Seems to me it would be much more effective to work through this with the person that I have this experience with than just speaking in theory with another pdoc. It just seems like common sense.
My problem with her response is that she seems bothered by the whole thing. Too much trouble for her. I feel left dangling in the wind.
Does she feel this way because she truly doesn't have the time of day for me or is there something else going on in counter transference that makes her uncomfortable? Isn't it my business to at least know that much? It remains too unresolved and is creating a conflict for me that won't go away - even after discussing it with 2 different talk therapists.
I feel after 3 years of treatment that she needs to be a little more forthcoming as to why she is so hesitant - even at this point.
