When I first was diagnosed back in the late 80’s my pdoc was good at doing that too. One thing she did that I loved was ordering PT for my back. They had huge hot pads they’d put on my back, and I’d just lay under all the weight and melt. It was great. But in New Mexico and Texas nope. There was a huge separation between physical and psychological.

Yes, it is like that here, especially now. Recently, psychiatrists have to be classified with "medical" not with "behavioral health" as they used to be. The pdocs, therapists, and patients I've spoken with are not pleased about such a change.
