luvyrself,
That is a good idea. I don't remember exact dates. I have had so many stressors and other experiences. It was probably a good 10 years switching pdocs before I found the one I stayed with for 10 years. So there is just a ton of stuff, going back from childhood, through college, graduate school, my daughter's birth, deaths, finances, etc. Sometimes, I feel like I have so much baggage, I don't even know where to begin! Maybe this is why I have such difficulty finding therapists, going through an extensive psych history time and again and never clicking with a single one. It's exhausting!

Since the new pdoc is at the same practice as the old, once I sign over consent, it will be possible for her to share with him more than an abbreviated file as she can just hand the entire file over versus having to choose what to fax, so he should be able to read more extensively the course of my treatment with her.
