Don't know if unobtainable is a real word but I'm using it.
My pdoc is so good. She doesn't expect me to be all changed overnight. She understands how much I suffer and she gave me some good things to help me today. She only expects me to improve alittle bit at a time and doesn't put pressure on me to change. I feel like i got so much out of the session today. She really helped me to think of ways to help myself. She wasn't there telling me what to do. I was involved in it. It's so hard for me to explain what I'm trying to say....I guess i'm trying to say that she understands how much I suffer and she believes that I can get better. Her expectations are reasonable and attainable. I'm so glad that I have such a good pdoc.

Yup, unobtainable is a real word. And hooray for good pdocs! I completely love mine. I have seen him for 7 years and he has never been anything but wonderful to me. He's given up his lunch hour or come in early when I'm feeling particularly bad and need to see him and that's the only time he could squeeze me in. Just the other day, after he ordered some bloodwork and it came back goofy, he faxed the results to my primary care doc and then PERSONALLY made an appointment for me to be sure I could get in right away! He's a great guy.

My therapist sounds like your pdoc -- I used to have one who just sat there and expected me to do all the talking, but this one gets me involved and I feel like I'm actually getting somewhere.

We're both lucky, I guess! No unobtainable expectations!

Sounds like a good doctor. Glad she's got realistic expectations. That helps so much.

It is so wonderful to hear a positive post about your pdoc. I am glad you have found her. I have gone to my pdoc for about 10 years and wouldn't trade him for the world. I am lucky enough to have a t as you describe your pdoc. Hurray for good docs. Glad you had such a good session.

good to hear... makes me believe there is still hope for all to find good pdocs (I don't have one, but my MD is quickly becoming undesireable.)
