Starting to calm down. Still very exhausted from my psychotic break so need to rest. Talked to my T and he recommended I focus on recovery for a few weeks and think about my options then. Think I will do this and I can't deal with it now. Seeing my pdoc on the 4th Jan but will probably keep it med and recovery related and leave talking to him properly till the next appointment. All other doctors are on holidays anyway. My gut says I'm going to have to change doctors and that will take time and energy. At least my mood is stable for now so treatment is working.

I'm a fairly traditional (though not conservative) Christian, and I don't like it when religion gets into the mix.

I dunno what to do, honestly. If he really can't do his job and he's upfront about it, maybe its time to just move along to the next pdoc. Its great that he's seen you through things and gotten the meds adjusted, etc., but if there's funamental incompatibility, the maybe its time to bail out.

Then again, I"m not you. Because of personal experiences, I try to stay somewhat detached from my shrinks. This situation looks like its blurring some boundaries to me, personally.
Thanks for this!

There does seem to be a fundamental incompatibility and blurring of boundaries. He just can't seem to separate his fundamentalist religion from his practice. I heard that he took one of his patients to church. That is way out of boundaries, even if the person is a Christian. Moving pdocs just seems like such a headache and who knows who I will get. But it is becoming clear that is probably what I am going to have to do.

He should have never gone into his field. It is completely unprofessional and a boundary violation for a pdoc to impose his religious beliefs on you and that he is pathologizing your own beliefs and worldview. If he thinks this is good practice, he needs to take a look at himself and get some help. Just my two cents.

Sorry you are going through this and that you've had such bad experiences with pdocs. Please consider seeing someone else, and hopefully you will see such a positive difference and get the treatment and respect that you deserve.
Thanks for this!

So sorry about this. Yeah I would focus on stability right now and change later. But very unprofessional of him. So glad to hear tho that you're stable right now.
Thanks for this!
