Thank you zh.
This was one of two issues this week...and botht will be ongoing, I'm sure. (The other is the idea of "letting go" of the suicidal ideation.)
The basis for this acceptance is to trust my T... HE is the one who knows me, cares about me, and has my best interest in mind. I am often in a quandry because of seemingly conflicting opinions from doctors such as neurologists who spend 10 minutes with me and drop me like a hot potato. (High maintenance patient... many many problems and symptoms etc. ) Everytime I get some other opinion, and / or when the attorneys argue or the insurance company refuses treatment for me I take it as "maybe it's all in my head" because of their attitudes.
I have to believe my T knows best. I just have to learn to do this and stick with what he says, even when I hear other inaccurate information. I think part of the problem with this is that he, too, has been put into the category of "authority" and that brings nothing but red flags because of how those in power did NOT help me after the injury... I have to KNOW that my T is not like them never has been never will be... and that he is quite the expert when it comes to these matters.
