Many therapists are ill-equipped to handle psychotic illnesses. It is far better they are upfront about that than you find out the hard way. On the other hand there are those scary therapists who think they know more about psychosis than seasoned psychiatrists. They can get you killed. My best advice. When you see your psychiatrist ask for a referral. He's already working with therapists. Psychiatrists refer all the time. He'll send you to someone who is comfortable with psychosis but understands your psychiatrist is in charge of treating you. Also, if he's referring you it's a good chance they work together with patients. You'll get better care. I firmly believe when psychiatrists and therapists talk regularly the quality of care goes up.
