I have passed the evaluation but the psycologist has not cleared me?
The psycologist who did my evaluation has insisted on 5 sessions. I told her i was told I need to get a sleep apnea test and she insisted I wait to take the evaluation. Once I got the evaluation I entered cognitive behaviour therapy for anxiety disorder. After I told her I was doing that she made we wait and insisted I speak to my doctor about medication for anxiety disorder. I got the meds and started them but have experienced problems with alergies. I finished my cognitive therapy and he says I will not benefit from further therapy that I am fine. She finally allowed me to take the evaluation but now that I have passed it she recommended I wait even longer because the changes are so new. She told me she would recommend the surgery but the surgeons office said she did not clear me. I comfronted her about it and she insisted that she told me she was going to recommend I wait. She will not give me any time frame of how long is long enough. She also keeps insisting that I could experience old psycological trauma. I keep telling her that I am prepared to seek help if that occurs but she now wants me to see her mentor, so she can explain it to me. I tell her I understand what she is saying but she insists I meet with the two of them. She also has recomended to the surgeons that I attend her support group that she facilitates. I have not yet seen a surgeon and can't until she clears me. Has anyone ever experienced something like this. If you have please tell me what you did. I am at the end of my rope here. It seems like she is going out of the scope of her job and the surgeons are giving her way too much power.
