I think definitely trust your gut on this...I know that can be hard in the situation you're in... and when cptsd is a big part of the picture... there's not much more road to go down with this psychiatrist if you consistently question whether they are doing right by you or not...
After many years of therapy, a CTPSD diagnosis then dissociative disorder diagnosis, I've ended up with a psychiatrist and psychologist... I see them concurrently which means the differences in knowledge, understanding and therefore approach are very apparent to me. My psychiatrist is rigid in her thinking and, after doing the meds, she very much resorts to advice like 'you just need to expose the people who did this to you and get up and on and then you will feel better' .... if it weren't really upsetting at times (the lack of understanding she has and basic knowledge on symptoms) it would be laughable... one time I told her I thought she thought I was exaggerating or making up my symptoms because she was so dismissive and only then did she sit up and start listening a bit more to me becausei called her out on it (it was extremely outof character for me and how i presented). And that's only because for once there was a second professional in the room.
My psychologist on the other hand, understands well about the years long issues I've had with intermittent fatigue, depression, physical symptoms and has never ever once shamed me or made me feel i should just get to get on with it... instead he's helped me to try to track symptoms to see if I can see patterns and connections and see if these are relating to triggers or parts... having that unconditional positive regard for me no matter how I turn up over the years is definitely one thing which is helping me validate my own experience and not question my reality and feel supported in it all... which i feel is slowly making a difference, but in a strong way... it's been years since I can work and although I'm not there yet, I'm beginning to see how it could be possible I'm the future
Part of you knows that this psychiatrist is probably helpful with somethings but ultimately limiting your ability to move forward in other ways. Listen to that and please don't ever feel wrong for seeikng another opinion. You're the main expert in your life and your another case for the psychiatrist
