> Yes me Snowie. It was a mutual fire…I'm sure he thinks he fired me, and I like to think I fired him. I thought he was one twisted cookie. He would say to me, 'Well, you're the analytical one' and 'well, you're the one who knows so much about your disorders' and 'why are you always so dramatic'. He didn't like the fact I knew so much about my disorders.
Sounds like my ex pdoc. What's wrong with being informed? I was never rude, nor did I rub his nose in it. However, I was looking for a new pdoc when this happened, but I wanted to take my time.
> I was a generic patient to him (he wanted me to be like a blank white sheet) and everyone does cognitive therapy.Mine wanted me to be a "yes" woman, but that's not me. It's my body ... I should have some say as to what goes into it. However, I was always willing to listen to him, but he didn't give much advice except to criticize and make fun of me.
> Snowie, just because they are your psychiatrist doesn't mean much. I've always made a personal observation that many twisted individuals seem to get attracted to the helping professions (especially priests). Of course, most are decent, sincere people.This guy seemed sincere when he was hugging me or asking sexual questions. He made me feel a little uncomfortable at times. I don't think it's appropriate for a pdoc to hug his or her patient. If that makes me a prude, so be it.
> I've hoped I've helped or at least made sense.Yes, you have.
> He was very unprofessional--this is the part that would have especially upset me. Take care, JaniceI know, but it's still a little scary.
ps. I now have a psychiatrist I like alot.
I know, and I'll find one too. That will be my best revenge.
