When meeting with your doctor about medications,

00:00:03.346 --> 00:00:05.606 A:middle
it's not a therapy appointment.

00:00:05.606 --> 00:00:07.836 A:middle
It's about, is the medicine working?

00:00:07.836 --> 00:00:12.086 A:middle
So you're not gonna be asked to journal your trauma,

00:00:12.086 --> 00:00:16.126 A:middle
to re-live your trauma, to describe all the trauma

00:00:16.126 --> 00:00:19.366 A:middle
because that really is not about,

00:00:19.366 --> 00:00:22.466 A:middle
is the medicine reducing the symptoms or not?

00:00:22.466 --> 00:00:23.566 A:middle
That's a therapy issue.

00:00:23.566 --> 00:00:26.556 A:middle
Medicines: are the symptoms improving?

00:00:26.556 --> 00:00:27.716 A:middle
Are you having side effects?

00:00:27.716 --> 00:00:30.766 A:middle
Is it doing its job to turn down the volume on the symptoms

00:00:30.766 --> 00:00:33.936 A:middle
so that you have more time to live your life?
