I've been through 3 pdocs in 2 years.
Still not sure I like my new one. It takes time to find the right one, and at the moment I'm relying on my T to help me find a new one, or encourage and support me with the existing one.
I see my T much more often, and she knows me, so it's important that she's so very involved.
My current T and pdoc also sometimes speak to each other to help me; that's important to me too.
My first pdoc was a bit scary. It probably didn't help that he was a male. But he did ask a lot of questions which wer justifiable to get a good understanding, and then promptly made me go to hospital for a few days...! Therafter I just felt like a number with him, and I really didn't appreciate that.
My second pdoc was an eccentric, female, feminist. At times quite scary!
My current one is very professional, but I feel she sometimes doesn't take me serious e.g. the severity of my depression, the sui thoughts... So that's why I'm thinking of leaving
