You are very fortunate, indeed!

I have had a few pdocs over the many years. Most were great!

The pdoc I was with the longest had retired almost 1.5 years ago. I had been with him for 20 years. I absolutely trusted him totally. He had worked very hard for my trust, too. I had been so traumatized, I was not into trusting anyone. We are still in touch now and then. We email just to say hi and to catch up a bit on how life is going for each of us.

My new pdoc? Her personality is the antithesis of his! Wow!
I have told her she is a "knee-jerker," as in has a lot of knee-jerk reactions to things. She also shoots from the hip more often than not.

She tells me that I have a very calming influence upon my surroundings, including her and her office.

Is this "backwards? Is it okay? Lol!

And so, we are very different from each other.

Sometimes, I want to call it a day and leave, looking for a new pdoc/therapist. Other times, I am intrigued and learn something important about myself via our interactions and.... well, I think there may be some "healing" in working this out with someone with a very different viewpoint and/or approach.

In all honesty, most of the times I am feeling like "quitting" with her and finding someone else, I am, on some level, judging her./her behaviors/her ideas/her beliefs.

I tend to think that the people, the behaviors, the areas in life where we hold judgment, are the very places we have something to learn

And so... I take it day-by-day with her. Time will tell.

In the meantime, I am very pleased she is fantastic with meds.

I hope you find a therapist most helpful to you!
