First off, while reading this remember I am in Canada.
Yesterday I was talking with my psychiatrist about my husband's psychiatrist (he sees him only rarely) and I said some things that were a little critical of him. My psychiatrist said, well, I won't write that down, and we continued talking.
Later in the day, it hit me: why would he write down all everything I say about myself, and NOT write down a criticism of another psychiatrist? Who is going to read those notes? No one, right? Or so I thought. I mean, if my psych. gets hit by a bus, those records are sealed, are completely confidential, aren't they? Unless I sign a release.
I titled this post "old habit" because I have on many occasions freaked out about things he has said, and not trusted him. That has pretty much passed (oh my cat is rubbing against my ankle and she is the softest thing!!) but today I am feeling very vulnerable about this.
argh.
