yea I do and when I am angry at my therapist or psychiatrist I do let them know it and then some. LMAO

I figure thats what they are for right. Im paying them to listen to me and help me with my problems, it just happens sometimes my problem is them. I dont expect to like them all the time cause if I did they would be my friend not a treatment person doing their job. And I do expect them to do their job. and deal with it when I am making them do their job by helping me with my problems with them as well as my problems with others outside of treatment.I also feel that Im paying them so that I dont have to keep everything bottled up churning around inside so why keep things to myself when Im angry at them.

the result of my being so honest and open with them including letting them know when I think they are off base or Im angry with them is that we have a much deeper client therapist, client psychiatrist relationship and a much deeper trust built up.

suggestion - go for it let your psychiatrist know you are angry with them and why.
Thanks for this!
