Tea, it is normal for a psychologist to discuss a patient with a psychiatrist. It doesn't always mean "betrayal" because sometimes with getting more into a patient's history
the challenges of the patient can be seen differently. Actually, I would not mind if the T I have now got to speak to the psychiatrist I had that misdiagnosed me and prescribed a medication that only aggravated my PTSD instead of helping.
It depends on "what" was told to the psychiatrist too. I hope you discussed this with that therapist and got a chance to address it and clear things up.
One of the things I always think about is that all these professionals are "practicing" which means that as they "practice" they are continuously learning. If something is learned because I talked it out and explained something in more detail with a T or even a psychiatrist and they learn something, I always remember it may aide in helping them with better treating another patient. As long as the end result means the patient is being heard and helped and understood better, that is always what counts the most IMHO.
