Saw Pdoc Friday and she put me back on Concerta YAY!!! She asked how long it's been and at first I couldn't remember but then it hit me that it was when my

Possible trigger:

uncle was murdered and my hubby tried to commit suicide.

And she said "You have had quite the life. I've literally never met someone who has had as much tragedy as you. You have to be one of the strongest people I know and I'm proud of you for getting help.

Here's what bothered me I found out she googled me and my family because she didn't believe I've been around so much death. she even looked up death certificates. And I mean it bothered me a little but it hurt more to know that she didn't trust me but then I don't trust anyone so meh who am I to judge? But she even brought up the little article that was published about my grandma. I have no clue how she could have even found that the woman is apparently part bloodhound.

So has anyone here ever had their Pdoc check up on what they've told them?

Not that I'm aware of, but I would imagine pdocs might feel the need to determine if what they are hearing is reality or not, particularly if there is no one else with a patient to verify what is being said.

I don't think I've ever had my pdoc check up on my background; nothing that I've mentioned would be particularly researchable anyway.

To be honest, I think if I were a pdoc and I heard some storirs that sounded "extreme," I might do it too to know if she was treating for delusions or not. It would be relevant to know, and anything online is public.

I think more importantly, she shouldn't tell you if she did! That will just lead you to feel more vulnerable.

I can't say I've ever had one check up on me, but then I might not know.

I would probably have a hard time if my T was checking into my stories, and actually told me about it. The one thing I know about my T is that she believes me. I may not 100% feel like she loves or cares about me, but I do know she believes me when I tell her something.

I doubt my T has the time to try to dig deeper. And actually, I'm kind of torn. In one way I could also feel touched that my T spent the time to look into ME...not necessarily my stories.

I actually am seeing three Ts right now. The newest one kind of made me think.... she is the only one of the three who lives in the same town as me. She just lives a mile down the road, we shop at the same stores, etc. It's possible she knows more about me than she lets on, just because we have lived in the same town for 15 years. I'm only about 6 sessions in with her, but during one of my earlier ones, she referred to a family member by his first name. I'm quite sure I never mentioned his name, and it surprised me a bit. I brushed it off, thinking maybe I had mentioned it, and she remembered. I feel 99% sure I've never said his name.... but I just blew it off. My memory doesn't always serve me the greatest. So, I guess it's possible that she knows more about me than I think....but hasn't said anything... but if so, I would attribute it to the fact we live in the same small city, vs. the fact that she could be nosey. Although...she could be. I don't trust my memory enough to say something, but I remember being taken back with surprise when she mentioned his name, because I was quite sure I'd never mentioned it. My first T, who I've been seeing for almost two years, twice a week, wouldn't even recall his name if I asked her. And she's pretty good with that stuff...

My life is rather ordinary and boring so nothing to check but I understand having to check if things sound too extraordinary

She told me because she said "I always want us to be 100% honest and open with each other. i know you have trusts issues to the nth degree and I always wants to be completely transparent. Maybe if you know that I will never lie it will be a beginning for you to trust me."

So while it bothers me a bit, especially her bringing up the article about my grandma and then wanting to talk about it(very small town so it made the paper that her 6 year old granddaughter found her on the couch passed away), I actually respect that she was honest with me instead of hiding it.

I also was a bit offended but after reading responses here I no longer am. I had never thought about that she deals with people who are delusional or suffering from psychosis.

Wow, I wouldn't like that at all. If mine did, he sure as hell hasn't told me.

[cheshiregrins]

No, I've never had a therapist or pdoc check up on me. Honestly, that sounds a bit sketchy to me.
