Hello, lavieenrose. It makes no sense for your treatment team to continue doing what is not helping you. In similar circumstances, I have asked my therapist and psychologist if each believed he/she could help me. If not, I asked their assistance in finding new people. If they said they could, I asked each if I was doing or not doing something that was adversely affecting treatment.

Also, I believe a treatment plan is beneficial. The plan includes goals, time frames and what needs to be done to reach the goals. I also thought having assignments between sessions kept me more involved. The idea is to build confidence and discipline. Every success has a carryover for the next challenge.

I also asked both the psychiatrist and therapist if it would be beneficial if he/she could have copies of records generated by the other. I signed a release of information authorizing the sharing.

Too, I understand my way of doing things may not be your way. Even so, as I said at the beginning, inertia is making your situation worse. If the professionals you have now cannot or will not help, consider finding professionals that will.

Good luck.
