with old-T, i went in needing to deal with something immediately. so we talked about that first a bit, and he asked a lot of questions surrounding that issue (but which also helped him to learn more about me) and it didnt fix the issue straight away but it was enough for me to tide myself over until the following week. we finished up the initial interview the following week (he'd forgotten to get my address, pdoc's number etc) but it wasn't a big deal.

i think just a list of meds you are on and & dr's numbers would be helpful. if you go in and say you need help with an issue, they will usually attend to that and pick up history along the way.

re: old-T. you don't need to tell her it's over to make it official. if you are fine just moving on to a new T then maybe it will save you some energy (and frustration) to stop trying to make time to meet up with her. if you need notes or anything transferred to your new T (although my current T never wanted this - he likes to work from a clean slate) then you can just write a letter.

but if termination is important for YOU (i.e., for your sense of closure - not just to be polite to T) then by all means keep trying to get in touch. maybe if you leave a message indicating what you would like to talk about then she will be more accomodating?
Thanks for this!
