ptsd Ptsd Psychologist Very Rude And Cold!

[DocNyger]

Hey fellow Vets and all, I have another issue I was hoping someone could help me with.....

I have been getting treatment from a VA contracted psychologist for a little over 2 years. My psychologist up and moved to Cali last month and I finally saw the new one today. She was very uninviting and at some point I felt like I was bothering her. Often I shake and just feel comfortable looking around to check my surroundings. The therapist would state things such as " why do you do that" and "the medicine doesn't make you do that." .. I felt like I was being questioned by the FBI... I could tell she didn't even read my file and she kelp saying I can't see your file. Well after everything was finished, she simply said " ok take this paper to the front desk to make an appointment and I'll see you in two months to check your medication". No thank you or by or nothing... I went to the front and told the secretary that I did not want to see that particular doctor again. Do you think I was over acting? What would you have done? Also I am thinking about try group therapy for PTSD from the VA... Has anyone experienced this type of therapy? Thank you in advance.

Thank all of you, it is very hard to switch in mid stream.. I really appreciated everyone's response, I just really hated that feeling... I felt the same way when I went to that Qtc C&P exam. ( the results were horrible) ... So just trying to follow my feelings!!!!

I know zactly what you are experiencing. When I sense something going in the wrong direction with VA I am usually right on the money. Gotta be careful it causes paranoia. It got to the point when I was watching a football game on TV when the team went into a huddle I thought they were talking about me.

I don't do surly.

No veteran should be treated the way I've seen and experienced and I am far less tolerant of it than in the past so, Yes- change doctors.
