In reply to When do you consult your pdoc?, posted by mair on June 23, 2001, at 22:08:03
Dear Mair,
I don't see how you can have a trusting open comminication with a pdoc you see once every other month. How can she reasonably expect you to communicate your needs under those conditions? I see my shrink every week, talk to him several times outside (by phone or e-mail) and partner in my choice/level of med unless I'm psychotic (it happens). that is the only way i am able to work with and respect a pdoc. i suspect her ego was injured- tough. I agreed with my pdocs on emergencies- suicidal impulses (not thoughts), serious cutting, hallucinations- all things i'll call day or night. I'm sorry you were made to feel discouraged, i think it's important that she understand that she made you feel that way and discuss why she reacted the way she did without her being defensive. kind of hard, but important if you want to continue your relationship with her. i wish you the best- judy
