is it ok for my psychologist to do this?
I saw my psychologist and we talked about some things and they wanted to send my case manager an email but i didnt want them too and they said they wouldnt for now but if things were still the same or worse next week that they would even if i didnt want them too. i dont want them to do anything and i dont understand because i am not suicidal or anything like that so i dont get how it would be a saftey thing either. was my psychologist being pushy or is there something else going on?
i feel pressure now to be "fine" within a week i dont like feeling pressured in this way.

Hi @Eden1919 ,
I can understand how you feel.
I guess case managers and psychologists have different roles. Psychologists may need the expertise of a case manager and vice versa. Hence, they work as a team.
My case manager always worked with my psychologist as well as my entire treating team so as to come up with the best treating plan. You can always speak directly to your case manager - as the need arises.
All the best,
BPDSurvivor

@Eden1919 Sounds like a conversation to be had with them to understand why your psychologist may be wanting to make contact with your case manager.
Feeeling pressured to look like youve got it togther is awful. I have gone down this track with a psychologist and it leaves a wedge in the relationship. wastes our time and $
If you dont want them to talk to your case manager then that clearly needs to be articulated and clarity about when they would want to make contact and for what reason. Sounds like its important to You to have your needs respected and consent too. .Developing a safe relationship with Your psychologist is the guts of care. They have a duty of care and if they pervceive you are at risk and want to make contact with Your case manager to get a sense of your capacity, those intentions sound like they are for You,
