You and everybody else have given me some great ideals on how to resolve this issue with dignity.

No, I have now discussed this yet with my therapist. I haven't seen him since November, which is when I was notified by the insurance co. that I had exceeded my yearly benefit. I agree there are some violation of ethics to say the least.

I plan on putting my stating my greivances in a letter to the pdoc with a request for a refund of fees. The prospect of an insurance investigation should motivate him to cooperate. Then as others suggested, there's the avenue of small claims court if I have to. In fact, I'd love to tell my story to a judge.

I know there are some great p-docs out there, I just have not encountered them, and frankly (as Impermance noted) I am sick of them. I have to be the one in control of my mental health care and refuse to be someone's pawn.

I mean it is unethical of your p-doc to be giving you psychotherapy if you have a psychotherapist already. I would imagine your real psychotherapist should have a bone to pick with him...
