My psychiatrist and psychologist both care about my welfare. I saw my psychologist at a gas station and she knew me... I saw my psychiatrist at a grocery store and she stopped and smiled and nodded at me. I have no doubt she knew me. When I see her (pdoc) she asks me if I am still seeing my tdoc by name, asks me other questions about my life that shows she knows me. When she picks up my sheet from outside the room and clicks my record open on her laptop she doesn't have time to read all those things about me.... she KNOWS them. Are they my friends? No, they are part of my support system and professionals with appropriate boundaries. But that doesn't stop them from caring about me.
