The thing is I usually want my prescribing physician to be my therapist. My NP in Seattle sort of was after I convinced her my therapist was weird and neurotic. Wow, I'm just now realizing the last time I saw a therapist was four years ago and I don't think it counts as therapy. In our last session she was fixated on an approaching fire drill, she would interrupt me every five to ten minutes to tell me how much closer we were getting to the fire drill. I finally was like "I think this is bothering you more than it's bothering me..."
My old therapist isn't the personality type I usually look for in a care provider (sharp, no-nonsense and confrontational). I'm not worried about her being judgemental (shocked maybe) I guess I'm worrying about her feelings and that's not good.
I don't think one appointment is a bad idea. I'm pretty sure she still has boxes of my art work in her basement anyway.
