Jello, thanks, and I think you're right. Not offended, I know I have issues.

My therapist has a PhD but he's not a psychologist - he got his PhD in something else (which I keep forgetting what it was!) But yes, he is much more knowledgeable about the "why's" behind certain moods and emotions. My pnurse is just more of a shoulder to cry on and uplifting compassionate person.

My opinion on pnurses was also fairly low until I met her. I actually refused to see her the first time that psychiatrist recommended it. The Psychiatrist was booked for more than 2 months, and she offered this pnurse that I"m seeing now. Now - I'm glad that I got this pnurse. But at the time, I was not very happy about it because of my prior experience with some less-than-competent pnurses.

Ok, I think you're right. Keep seeing my T for therapy, AND see my pnurse for med management, just see her less often. And if for some reason I decide I don't like my T, I can always switch that around.
