PTSD itself tends to isolate a person,
that they've become disconnected from
the people around them, their loved ones,
and they feel like they're the only one
who is actually going through this,
so the prescriber really needs to understand
that this is what the person is going through,
and to reach out and connect to them
from the first moment of the first visit,
to set the stage for that therapeutic relationship,
because I think that therapeutic relationship
serves as the foundation for any treatment
that is going to be going on.
And I'd actually go as far as to say that
I think that without a good therapeutic relationship,
the medications may not work as well as they probably could.
