For about two months before christmas I´ve seen a psychiatric nurse once a week and we then had a Christmas break and now we saw each other again. We had a regular session and at the end I asked her about an appointment next week.

Then she just tells me that we can´t see each other more than every other week! She´s within public health care and they have to prioritize between patients and obviously I got a lower priority from now on.

I got really disappointed in the situation and also because she didn´t say anything about it during the whole meeting but at the end when the session was over and I asked her for another meeting.

She meant "it´s better to get sessions every other week than no sessions at all" which is of course true but then she forgets all about what counselling is based on; trust, engaging the patient in the deciding process and so on.

I can´t and don´t want to switch to another care provider as my sick leave is based on seeing this nurse and showing I engage in some kind of counselling. I can of course tell her how I feel but that won´t help as they don´t care about how you feel or what you think.

I don´t see that many solutions but I want some support on this.
