[Psyclox]

My Psycologist says one thing to me and then my psychiatrist says another they both totaly confuse, I just don't know what to think cause they always say different things to me one says this and the other says that, i just don't know what to belive from the two I think I might just believe my Psycologist instead, but should I bring this up in my next session or what?

I think you should bring it up. Also use your own judgement to see which advice you think will work better for you. There are different ideas that work for different people, and the two of them may just be offering different ideas of what might work for you.

But it isn't good to confuse you. Do your T and pdoc work together? Maybe they should speak to each other about this, if you bring it up.

It is worth bringing it up because you want the best care possible for yourself, and many times advocating for yourself and questioning them is the best way to do that.

Good luck Psyclox

I agree with Dexter. Bring it up, and if it continues to be a problem, ask them to get together and talk about your case. They ought to be coordinating together to make sure you aren't confused or getting bad care.

My pdoc and T speak toeach other regualarly; especially if something is happening at the time. In doing so they agree on one course of action They think is important. They work as a team each with their own function. The pdoc works with the meds and the way they are helping relieve the symptoms, my primary t guides the athers through the process and does t with me, while my emdr w orks closely with my t on the abuse issues and my nutritionist dose her thing. I guess i feel it is imortant to have a team that works well together while satying within thier esxpertise. It would not be favorable when they have their own agenda as I would always get confused when that happened. You may want to discuss this with them as it is a fundamental thing to have worked out. Good luck with them and have your injput heard after all it is your therapy. Take care of yourself.

I agree. And if you don't want to bring it up specifically related to you. Tell each that you are in a support group where some members have their treatment team be in contact so that their treatments dont conflict. they called it continuity of care guidelines that their mental health state and therapy office has and one you wanted to know if his/her agency had one and if so you would like to give it a try having him/her in contact with the other treatment person. If they are here in the united states they will say sure and have you sign the release forms then the two will meet of phone and talk about you and what each thinks is best for you. And there will be no more conflicting information being passed.
