> Lurpsie where have you found a pdoc that does any talk theraphy? Now a days they want a therapist to handle that aspect. My old one used to do it but gave it up. And the recent ones except the older lady I'm seeing don't talk either. This one I'm traveling 5 hours to see is unique. Love Phillipa
Hi Phillipa,
My T and pdoc work together as a team. They both know what's going on with me, so I can discuss both med issues and life issues with both of them. Of course my pdoc doesn't really have time for a full session of talk therapy every week, but just having the opportunity to talk about one's problems in confidentiality with a caring adult is very therapeutic. I go to a group practice.A couple people (maddie?) have mentioned that their psychiatrist does both talk therapy and psychopharm therapy. Probably becoming rarer and rarer these days. Ask Tony Soprano- his pdoc is also his T.
