((((Secret)))) I am so happy to see you here. Oh I think Perna is right. Regrouping seems to be in order. Be gentle with thyself.
I will share what works for me. My Pdoc and therapist are two different people. They are also VERY different therapeutically. I see my Pdoc about once every 2 months, once a month if I need a med change or something. I see T as often as I can. LOL
They are both men. Pdoc is very staid, reserved, and polished kinda guy. He always has a jacket and tie on. He's a psyciatrist, with specialty in psychopharmacology. He has been excellent with meds for both me and my son who also sees him. I really like him a lot and feel supported by him.
T is different. He is much more laid back, but also an upright kinda guy. He feels more regular to me. His therapy is in the now, humanist leaning. His approach is psychodynamic and analytical. Does that make sense?
The combination of the two works for me.
I do not believe that there is any one size fits all, but that there is a T out there for everyone.
While you are taking a much needed rest for yourself you can begin to make lists of qualities that you feel are important in a T.
Please take care and again, welcome back. I missed you!
