 Hello, and thanks for posting. It sounds like you need a second opinion. Anyone who feels like their clinician is not listening to their concerns should be assertive and attempt to redirect the discussion to the area of concern. If this does not yield results, then it is time to get feedback from a different clinician. Let us know how things go and best of luck! | ||||||||
