I have been seeing Rex Weir since 1996, which is a couple of years ago. He is very caring and respects that God gave me good brains and a facility for using them. He has gotten me through dangerous depressions and terrible times. I have also seen him on the ""check in twice a year"" basis where we review medicines and activities and laugh together about life and the world. \r

I trust him. I too separate psychotherapy and medication management treatments in my life. I gave both practitioners a release to talk to each other if they think necessary. But Rex still always wants me to give him a summary of what is going on in my life and what I am working with the psychotherapist on. He has careful notes and refers back to what was going on 10 years ago, if he thinks there is a similar pattern. I believe he went to medical school in Mexico, where they are trained to listen more to patients rather than doing all the talking. \r

Maybe you just don't like the guy if you are one of the people talking trash about him. That's OK. We aren't all going to like everyone. Michelle Hauser is just upstairs from Rex Weir. Go see her. You might like her better. She's not my cup of tea, but I know people who just love her style and have every confidence in her.
