I had a therapist suggest I see a psychiatrist or psych NP for the first time a while ago. It was a difficult suggestion for me to hear at the time, both because I had a lot of complicated feelings and stigma about psych medications and because I worried my therapist was indirectly saying I'd failed at therapy or that needing medication meant I was "sick" somehow. It took me a while to agree to what over time became a very strong recommendation--my therapist was so invested in it happening by that point that once I finally said yes, she made the psychiatry appointment for me. It was the right thing to do, and medications have been extremely helpful to me over the years. And it was useful for me to unpack in therapy why I felt the way I did about my therapist making that suggestion.
