I'd feel funny with someone who felt they couldn't figure out what I'm about by getting to know me.
I mean, if you see a pdoc a couple of times for a diagnosis, is that going to be more accurate than the diagnosis that your T might come up with over a couple of months of getting to know you?
And exactly what it the use of a diagnosis? It seems to me that point in therapy is to deal with the issues at hand. Who cares what the diagnosis is? If you get a few months into the therapy and your T finds that you need some other interventions, like meds, then maybe that's the time to venture into the world of pdocs.
There, my opinion, maybe not as humble as it should be, but clearly stated at least. Do keep in mind that it is nothing but an opinion, and that I have no education in these matters.
Hope this helps.
