Sounds like a great visit. I enjoyed reading because I am not familiar with PNPs... I am very well-versed in pdocs though! (Went through 7 of them and was just referred for a "2nd" opinion!)

I am wondering if your talk with her inspired you to think more about sharing the more clinical issues with your T. Perhaps don't think of them as clinical, but just as parts of you.... working on allowing him to see all parts of you. He will accept you. I think it is really important for you to tell him some of the things that you told your PNP and also really important to examine (as you have obviously already started to) why it was comfortable to tell her these things verses your T. I bet that would be a good discussion to have with him.

Thanks for sharing your experience.
