Can anyone tell me, do you pay for your pdoc in the States, or does it come under your insurance? I was recommended by my GP to a therapist who was supposed to be top in his field - he has written several books on the subject. But he was charging £90 a one-hour session (approx. $135), which I couldn't afford... certainly not on a regular basis. So I just saw him the once.
We may be taking out private medical insurance at work (BUPA), but as I understand it, this wouldn't cover psychiatric treatment of any sort.
I didn't really take to the guy either, and I would guess you would need to like your pdoc or you wouldn't be able to get a rapport with him. He was ever so serious, and didn't appear to have a sense of humour. Which for me at any rate would be important.
