Totally agree, Mari.

I am open about my health problems with my pdoc, but that has been MY choice, and not a problem because she understands all my medical issues, and doesn't butt in unless appropriate..

Therapists are totally different. They don't tend to have the same kind of understanding of medical issues (and sometimes other things). My last one was a PITA about that **** and I often had to waste MY time explaining to her why her dumb suggestions wouldn't work.

Sometimes people just need someone to listen. Therapists should be able to pick up on those cues.
