Health anxiety and doctors

I went to CBT yesterday and my therapist asked me if I was willing to meet doctors to discuss my symptoms and history so they are more aware of issues that we face. Does anyone think this would be of benefit

Hi Holly

I have had health anxiety for years , I admit it has improved but all the years I have had it , I always have thought , I have been fobbed of as the docs would just say , its anxiety & I would be thinking , well yes that gets you out of looking into things & would come away full of fear thinking they could be missing something here because they just want to say everything is anxiety

Things are getting better now , I feel my GP listens more , but I would have loved someone to have offered to step in , like you have been offered & discussed everything , them been impartial

If it was me I would certainly take the offer up , I think your counsellor sounds very good

Let us no if you do & how it goes

Love

I think it'd be a great idea Holly.

I'm terrified of doctors/hospitals and the only time in the last few years I did pluck up courage to say about my health anxiety to a doctor he said there was no funding available to help me - sorry - off you go.

I did have some councilling in 1994 which possibly helped but obviously not that well as I'm still plagued with health anxiety 20 years later.
