I consented. I have even given both permission to talk to each other w/o having to tell me beforehand (but they agreed they would tell me what they discussed if they do talk). I'm glad I did. My T and Pdoc don't talk often, but it has been beneficial having them on the same page. My original fear was that they would "gang up" on me. They kinda did a few times (about going into a crisis house and about DBT), but I understand those times. My other fear was that they wouldn't agree with each other and I would be caught in the middle. That hasn't happened yet. They actually like and respect each other and encourage my relationship with the other. It truly creates a safety net for me.

My Pdoc and primary don't need my consent to talk to each other because they work at the same clinic and have access to all my files. But my Pdoc is the one who referred me to my primary. They both are Pdocs and primaries. It's nice to have a primary who understands mental health and a Pdoc who understands physical health.
