I'm the same. I've never really asked my T anything. And I'm seeing a psychiatrist, but I'm afraid to tell him anything. I don't say much to him. My T knows this (about pdoc) and why I find it so difficult. She actually offered to talk to him about it, but I didn't want that.

It's would be a good idea to talk to your T about talking to your psychiatrist. Maybe he can help you, give you some advise.
But you could also write it down for your psychiatrist and give it to him. My T also said to me that I could do that.

You mean how to ask your T if he would want to talk to your pdoc? Say that you find it so hard to talk to him, that you can't tell him anything and if maybe T can talk to pdoc about it?
Or start by asking him if you can ask him something. He'll say yes. You can ask him if he ever speaks to psychiatrist for clients. Say that you find it really hard to talk to pdoc and if maybe he would want to talk to him on behalve of you?
It's hard. I find it hard too to ask my T for anything. But that's how I would probably do it.

Or you can write it in an email to T, or a letter? If asking about it in person is too hard.
Thanks for this!

I said "could you talk to my psychiatrist and tell her anything she needs to know about me". In my case she said "oh yeah, she called me last week". My psychiatrist wanted to know how to get me to talk more. She then asked me if there was anything specific that they didn't discuss.

I'm sure your T would be happy to talk to your psychiatrist for you. Did you already authorize her to talk to them?

Well the thing is this one time my psychologist asked if he could talk to my psychiatrist and when it got to the appointment I had been nervous for days about what he might have said and I got there and my psychiatrist said my psychologist never contacted him so I feel like asking him would just end up with me being worried and then nothing happening again.
