Both my T and pdoc seem to 'get' me pretty well. My T has been working with me for almost 10 years so he knows me well. In some ways he knows me better than myself. He can spot an episode a mile away, and really seems to understand my trauma and the impact it has had on me. My pdoc has been working with me for three years. He, of course, doesn't know me as well as my T but he has worked hard to get to know me and understand my difficulties. His responses to all my troubles have shown he genuinely cares, and is very skilled. My T also cares a lot. This compassion and care make the world of difference.
