Keeping my Bear, Dammit!

About the post I put about the Pdoc and the therapist, I remember something my T said last week when I questioned where we were going with my therapy.

She said, "It's your recovery, Marc. We will work on what is most important to you".

My therapist I see weekly. And I am capable of knowing what I need to work on first (fortunately, it coincides with what she thinks).

The Pdoc is nothing more than my pill pusher. She is not going to be helping in my therapy, just supplying the band-aids. And she will never know me like my T will.

So it's my damn recovery. And Ricky is MY bear. And it's MY choice! Took me a long time to get to the point that I would get him. Then being told to get rid of him pissed me off. Like, Ken says in one of his articles, I am the consumer. That means I am the employer. That means I make the final decision.

Ricky stays. Period.

My Wife wants me to get a bear now, too ;)

You take your healing into your own hands, you do know what is best for you!

Love ya Bro!

Peace and God Bless!

Good for you. The second a PDoc tells me to get rid of my Batman action figure, is the day that PDoc gets a batarang upside the head ;-).
 
I once worked under a pdoc on a psych unit. One day, a therapist friend of mine mentioned to him, in a conversation, that she was a survivor. His response was, "get over it."
There was a man who could not deal with emotions. He is an emotionally defended individual. He was good at dispensing pills, but not therapy.

I've also worked under a pdoc that was trained in therapy at the Meninger center, and the difference was night and day. He could also be a bull in a china shop sometimes, but the difference between them is that he could tolerate being challanged and he also looked forward to it and was even disappointed if it didn't happen on a regiular basis.

Most psychiatrists today are not trained in therapeutic techniques. Most people today believe they are.

I agree with you...Keep your bear................

Some of these professionals just make me wonder at times.

I'm glad you're keeping your bear and I'm thinking in a "sarcastic way here" but I'd get one for your Pdoc too! Maybe they need it just as bad! (you know one of the big ones so they can't hide it).

marc,
get rid of ricky? obviously some of those pills the twit was pushing got shoved down the same orifice that peice of advice came from. i am not at all surprised by such stupidity from professionals who never see the light of day about the ones they are supposed to serve because they never get to know the people who require their assistance like our therapists do. i have known professionals in the medical field who did go that extra step and never would have said such a moronic thing. but you are so right, ricky is yours and the little critter can have no greater companion than you and those you both protect and care for. you have done well, marc. my bear salutes you as well...and i just got a thumbs up from little theo to pass along. take care, bro.
 
Marc,
Maybe the next time you go see your pdoc you should take this person a bear of there own. Sounds like they could use one. Shame this person has lost touch with there inner child to the point they would tell you to get rid of your bear.

Take care,

If I didn't have barney to come home to tonight, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't make it.
