I’m certain my Pdoc has OCD issues. He has a huge problem making eye contact. My T warned me about him as far as eye contact goes ahead of time.

My Pdoc is brilliant and over the last 8 years he’s been able to maintain eye contact here and there but usually he’s either looking up or blinking his eyes rapidly and often closes them as we talk, it was odd at first but it’s just fine now.

My T and him have works together for over 25 years and he acts the same with co workers at monthly birthday parties etc

As for having a T with Bipolar ?? I think it would be helpful for them to “ help me” but I don’t think I would want to know if they had BP ... my Therapy is about ME and what I struggle with .. if I knew I’d honestly probably feel I couldn’t be 100% honest as I’d fear I might “ trigger “ him or her.
