I do think that's strange. Although I've only been in to see my t a few times, she's brought up the idea of seeing a pdoc each time to varying degrees. We finally scheduled an appointment. I was the one who was iffy about drugs and she was the one assuring me that it was just an evaluation and I didn't have to take anything.

I've had similar experiences with counselors and medical doctors over the years. They realize something deeper is going on or that there may be another cause for my symptoms, so refer me to a professional in that area. It's just what's done in the medical field. I could understand your t claiming she currently believes your problems can be handled through talk therapy, but completely denouncing the entire field of psychiatry sounds unprofessional.

I guess one can't factor out human nature, but I'd still feel awkward experiencing this behavior from professionals. Professional opinion is one thing, but taking personal slights from wanting a well rounded medical approach to your issues is another.
