((((CB)))) I had my first appt this past week with my new T, as well.
We had a good first session. She is at the same practice with my Pdoc (who I have been seeing for over 8 years so she had my file and was clear on the Rx situation).

The thing that resonates with me about your post is that when I mentioned my one of my Dx's (C-ptsd) toward the beginning of our session, I noticed she kind of rolled her eyes...i took note, but I kept talking. I included the other Dx's for sure.

Luckily for me, our first session lasted for a whole hour. So by the time I was finished telling her only THREE of the traumas I'd experienced (age 9, 31 & early 40s), she completely changed her tune. We havent even begun to discuss 18, 19, 22, 27, 35,38, 42...etc. All zingers.

I also told her that it was just the tip of the iceburg in terms of other incidents that just brought me to my knees ...she had no doubt at that point about any of the Dx's. Including the ptsd.

That said, I hope you will have more time together at your next session so you have the opportunity to share more.

Perhaps you can bring a copy of what you wrote here and share those concerns with her...share exactly what you wrote so she has the opportunity to clarify. Or bring to your Pdoc. The Pdoc may be able to explain the rational.

Also, I am wondering if her next appt with you is contingent on you taking meds (in order to continue with her). That is a little distressing to me if that is the case. You are in no means required to take anything you do not feel comfortable taking. It is definitely worth discussing with her.

Of course you want to feel better...that is why you went to see her! I also am confused about the time limit she imposed on your therapy together.

I think I would have left the mini-session feeling the same way you did / do considering her observations and declarations. By any chance, can you give her a call in fact to get some further understanding of her pov?

Please keep us posted.
