Is trauma (any type) part of your history? I'd say that a psychodynamic or relational psychoanalysis (modern, not your 5-day a week old style) type of therapy would be helpful to understand your experiences so that you can

BTW, I'd be wary of any therapist who goes against what your Pdoc is suggesting. They should be a team working together for you, not making it more difficult for you.

Trauma is, yes. I was sexually assaulted in high school. And then when my brother died, I found him with my mom at 7am.
I know, oh my god. She is terrible. She just does not listen, she caused me to end up in the hospital for a major depressive episode because she had me on the STARTING DOSE (50mgs) of Zoloft from August 13th till Feb 20th 2013 because she refused to bump me. The hospital staff was disgusted and shocked. She believes working out/eating right etc will fix me. It's hard to do such things when you're depressive but also more likely than not suffering from an autoimmune disease.
I wish I could reply to you all properly, but thank you SO MUCH. This is the most information I have gotten, information my therapist would not share with me. I am going to ask my hospital pdoc for referrals and talk more about the types of therapy. Thank you all so much. You're all brilliant
