I had my second session with her tonight.
I was comfortable telling her about some of my delusions.
She seemed a bit shocked or stunned but managed to give me some good advice on how to challenge my irrational thoughts.
I asked her if CBT is effective for psychotic disorders and she said that I had good insight and it could help me.
Having a good doctor helps in the treatment process so much. Congrats! I had a lovely psychiatrist, until I ran out of health insurance. New doctors are so, so.
Sounds positive and hopeful and those are two things that are often hard to find in the mental health network. Hope things continue to go well for you.
It’s good news !! I think I tried at least 6/8 psy doctors before I find one who I’m confortable with. but to be honest, I don’t see the use of a psy doctor (apart from prescribing medication) because it is just about telling him your life, he’s not asking any question to make a real therapy. so it’s nice you find a therapist who is useful !
