So my insurance company calls my therapist like every 8 weeks for updates on my progress, therapy goals and future plans. My employer....by the way....is contracted with them for UNLIMITED therapy sessions( I am sure there are loop holes). They are asking for me to see a psychiatrist and why I haven't yet and a goal to get down to one session a week. Well my T feels I should see a psychiatrist even if it is for Xanax review(my primary care MD takes care of that and I only use it as needed).
I fear seeing a pdoc. I feel if I do some how I am giving over control. I went to therapy on my own accord....no one knew I have an eating disorder and they still don't. I won't be honest with his questions about suicidal thoughts for fear of him losing my freedom. The same with self injury(which I have not had to in a couple of weeks). I also feel he want me to go on other meds and tell the insurance company I refuse to take them. Then what?

Looking for safety, protection, being cherished and loved can often be normal unmet needs in childhood, and the survivor searches for these in other adults. This can be where survivors search for mother and father figures. Transference issues in counseling can occur and this is normal for childhood abuse survivors.
