Hey lady,
I don't have experience in this other than in working as part of a rehab team. Multidiscplinary work is often quite effective, although the team members need to be able to work together and not in opposition.In working with my T and my pdoc, occasionally I hear things from my T when he disagrees with my pdoc that are kind of odd. I get this odd feeling that there is a competition going on. I really see my pdoc for medication management and for general educational stuff. I do tell her some of the issues I am working on, and she offers her insights, but it's more from a psychoeducational approach than a working therapy thing. So I am quite comfortable in the two roles they play.
I also think that you are quite insightful about the potential obstacles you might put in front of yourself in considering this. You know what they are, and I think that will be helpful in countering them should you decide to try this.
And for what it's worth, I think it's an excellent idea!
btw, I'll be sending you that stuff I promised today. Hope you find it helpful.
