I am frustrated with my T. She has been trying to talk me into taking anti-depressants. But, she seems to refuse to talk about the cons of such a decision. Since I tend to write up a pros and cons list when making major decisions, I don't like this. I ended up saying that I'd talk to the new Pdoc. I want to tell her how I am annoyed that she didn't admit to the fact that there are more than just the positives of such a decision. I ended up doing my own research to come to a decision rather than asking her any questions because she also said something about it would be good if they put it in the water. I told her that I find this remark offensive. I softened it by stating that anti-depressants aren't as dangerous as some organizations would want you to believe. However, it helped to end up freezing her out of the decision making process and I don't like that because I'm concerned that it might hurt my ability to trust her when it comes to making decisions in which she wants me to do something. I am hoping to get the guts to bring this up next week. However, I am no good at expressing negative emotions.
I'm hoping to mention that my decision making method is usually a pros and cons list. So, please invite me to share my list and/or thoughts on the matter. But, I am also annoying because I clammed up when the subject first came up. So it might be because she thought I had never quite unclammed if you know what I mean. I may not be as easy to read as I think I am for all I know. I thought it was pretty clear that I was less uncomfortable with it and willing to share some of my thoughts if she ask.

can you verbally get it across to her? sometimes it is really hard to read another person and she may be as bumfuzzled as you are right now.

or can you e.mail her? i noticed, on here, that some T's take e.mails.......i know where you're at, because i research also and i always want to know both sides of a med.....i hope you get this sorted out. xoxo pat

If your T is not a psychiatrist, then she might not be aware of all the pros and cons herself. That isn't required of psychologists and even less so of
"therapists."

Why not list your pros and cons here, and let us all view them to see if you are doing a good listing, and allow us to add to or edit your list?
