I think it is good to reflect on therapy. Last week when I saw T - I don't remember the topic we were talking about, but he flipped back in my file and looked at his notes and said - you were here last year on this day, he also said I think there was a whole ton of denial there last year. Then he said that he was going to go back and read over the last year. It was very encouraging the way he said it. I think sometimes we don't see the progress we have made and even T can forget just where we were at. - As we contine to progress they look at what we are doing and how we are progressing and T brings about so many changes we tend to forget just exactly where we were. I think it can be very encouraging and validating.

As for the meds you should tell T. My T actually suggested that I ask my GP for X and X and if my GP needed to talk to him - he would be happy to. My T also asks about other meds I take for health issues. I struggle with taking care of myself and it can be very dangerous when I don't take them. I spent a week in ICU last Oct because I hadn't been taking them. He also has suggested things like fish oil when I didn't want to take an anti depressant. Although medication is not their thing they are knowledgeable in that area and defintely know when we need something. One time I wanted to up my Zoloft and my T said that I shouldn't - that if I did I would be a little to happy and I needed to feel some of what I was feeling. He thought my dose was optimal - anyhow just my opinion.
