I'm unsure if a mixed approach will be helpful to me. I've been in therapy since middle childhood (age 10). Several different pdocs. Just thinking that I need something more intensive (DBT) to work through my issues. My psychiatrist's nurse is quite frustrated with me, and just wants me to wait until 6/30. She makes me feel as though I'm being a major pain and I ought to shut up. Makes me very hesitant to call and ask about a referral. She was supposed to call me back with one on Friday. Makes me really want to back off and escape again. The psychiatrist is really great, but his nurse is making my drama more intense! Am I being unreasonable?
