As time goes on, I'm feeling that I trust my pdoc more than I do my therapist. I've been seeing my pdoc for 3 1/2 years, therapist for about 2 years. Don't get me wrong - my therapist works hard (sometimes too hard, like she's struggling to keep up with me), and she's very kind and gentle. But she feels insecure to me, somehow.

My pdoc, on the other hand, is very confident and stoic. She seems professional, more so than my therapist, who frankly tells me more about her personal life than I care to know. Essentially, my therapist behaves like we're friends...or would be, were we not in a therapeutic relationship. Whereas my psychiatrist is warm, but remains clinical.

Has anyone here experienced similar? Feeling safer with your pdoc than with your therapist? If so, how did you handle it?
