I have a therapist psychiatrist and a case manager as my team I saw my psychiatrist today for a meeting and we talked and I don't know I felt like I didn't really open up to her today I feel like sometimes the things. In my head. Are to dark to talk about with my team. And there are certain levels I trust my case manager. More than I trust both my psychiatrist and therapist but I talk to my therapist more than my psychiatrist cause I don't know her very well I've only had four or five sessions with the women I don't know if I'm the only one who has this problem were I trust certain people on my team more than the other. But I feel like I am.

I trust my therapist way more than my psychiatrist. I don't care much for my pdoc one way or another. He's nice, but if I had to get a new one I'd be fine with that. I totally love my T though, and I would hate to have to get a new T. I think one of the reasons I trust my T more is just because I see her so much more often, and for longer amounts of time, and we talk about more things than just medicine.

I trust them both equally but rely on them to do two different jobs.
Thanks for this!

I *trust* my pdoc but I like/feel comfortable with my T way more. I actually told her that I have trouble talking to my pdoc the other day and she laughed and said he's a really good guy, but she gets it

Don't see a Pdoc, but I go to a GP for my meds. I don't trust, like, or feel comfortable around her. My T is the first person remotely related to healthcare who I haven't wanted to punch.

I trust my therapist and marriage counselor more than my p-doc, but that's mostly because I've been seeing them for much longer--4 years and 3 years off and on, respectively, compared to about a year for p-doc. Plus with them, I have weekly 50-minute sessions, where with her it's 25 minutes (occasionally 50) every 3 weeks or so. Though I'm coming to trust her more.

I don't trust any of them, but I trust the person with greater power to screw up my medical dosages or put me in the hospital less.
Thanks for this!

I trust my pdoc more. (I see him every other week for an hour and have a phone check-in during the week I don't see him, so it's not like I only see him for five minutes every three months)

My psychiatrist is my therapist. I trust her. She is a sensitive, open and gifted therapist who really understands people. We meet regularly for 1 hour.

I prefer therapy from the prescriber, because he or she can observe if a medication is working or not.

I trust my T more than my pdoc. I've known my T longer. I see her every week. I've shared a lot with her.
I don't see pdoc often. The appointments are short. I see him for meds. I don't share a lot with him, just some more general things. I answer his questions. I do like him. And he reacted good to the things I've told him so far. But he's a man, so he has that against him. I think if i would see him more, then I would get to trust him more and tell him more.
The only subject I rather talk to him about then to my T is about
Possible trigger:


These two are the only ones from the T's/pdoc's i've had who I have trusted.

I trust my Pdoc because I have been with her much longer than I have been with my T, but I am more open with my T than my Pdoc and have a closer relationship with my T because I see her more often.
