i agree, it doesn't sound like she's trying to get rid of you, just trying to help.
my pdoc suggested an intensive outpatient program to me as well, and i had a similar thought. i don't think that is the rational part of the brain thinking, though! he has no real reason to want to get rid of me, i just got slightly worried because i seem to be a bit too much for him, and i guess that doesn't make me feel too good. but i am confident that he is just trying to find the best way to help me.
does anyone here have any experience with an IOP? the one he is suggested is 3 half-days a week. i am interested in getting some help but don't know if i can afford this and also group therapy has never appealed to me and i assume that will be a big part of the program.
i figure i may as well get an evaluation. it does sound like a good alternative to an inpatient program, which i would like to avoid (even though the idea of surrendering control sounds pretty nice right now).
