cypher,
I too do not like going to a P and a T due to co-pays. I was seeing a P for 10 minutes for her to write out pres I needed. That was it out of the office I went. It is hard to find a good T which I do have. I changed P'S and had to start all over like you say and I do not like rehashing my story over and over. Now, my P is quitting her practise due to health issues and if I need a pres changed, I have to go to a new one again. I wish T's could prescribe. I have seen many T's throughout my life and finally found one who is compassionate and genuinely cares about me. Sometimes you do have to move on until you are comfortable in all ways.

My T except for last session usually runs late sometimes close to an hour. I have accepted it because I am comfortable with him. He means well and is always busy trying to help someone and let them finish with what's on their mind. He has gone over as far as time having me in his office as well. So, I am grateful for all his help and he is young so I do not see him having a need to retire in the near future.
