Me again. So your pdoc does therapy, too? When I go to see mine (he's in the office adjacent to my therapist's) I'm in there like for 5-10 minutes tops. He just wants to see how I'm doing on the meds and that's it. We never 'talk.' He's a nice man and I like him, but (because I'm so new to all of this,) I thought all pdocs do is prescribe meds, but evidently the do therapy, too, although in the case of yours, it sounds like he might not be doing it very well, and I'm sorry.
So you worked with your T for 18 years and doing therapy with the pdoc for 3 + years? Just out of curiousity, why did you start doing therapy with the pdoc instead of just with your therapist?
I wonder if after a while t's, pdocs, and just dr's in general get kind of calloused and accustomed to our 'pain?' Sometimes their attitude would make it seem that way. I don't know if it's part of their conditioning or what, but with our emotions being so raw, you'd think they'd try taking just a little better care of us during those 'bad times.'
I am so sorry you are feeling so hurt and rejected and depressed. I hope maybe you're feeling a little better (?) I don't know what the answer is myself, because now that I'm in therapy, I'm realizing how painful even just the relationship with the therapist can be.
I wish I knew something to say to make you feel better. But you're in my thoughts and I hope the depression lifts soon. Take care now and know that I care. (o:
