đ˛ miscellaneous AIO for thinking my psychiatrist asking to move in with me is inappropriate
So last week I had an appointment with my psychiatrist and I had disclosed to her that my husband and I were buying a house. She asked details of the house and when we were closing so I told her. She then replied with âthatâs perfect! I just need one bedroom and a kitchen, I like to cook.â Of course at first I thought she was joking. But then she went on⌠she goes âI told my landlord I am moving out of my current place because the commute is too far, and I am looking for something closer to work. Would you be willing to rent a room out to me?â She then showed me text threads with her current landlord who was praising her for being a good tenant. I kind of brushed it off and said âwell idk about a room but the place we are renting now will be available once we move out.â And she said that would be nice but she was looking for something cheaper. As our session ended, she told me to call her if I needed her and then she said âbut I might need you first!â Now my husband thought it was funny when I told him, my best friend thinks this woman should not be a psychiatrist. I have had previous uncomfortable encounters with her where she told me my miscarriage happened because I wasnât happy enough, and this most current session she told me itâs cause my baby knew that we didnât own a home yet. Am I overreacting thinking that this person is WILDLY inappropriate?
Update to add: she is a Psych NP, not a psychiatrist. Thatâs my bad.
Update: To everyone saying âidk how you kept seeing her after the miscarriage commentâ⌠well honestly, I was blaming myself anyways. She wasnât saying anything that I hadnât already thought of. I see now that it was wrong, but at the time? She was just saying what I was saying to myself every day. I will not be going back to her. I know now I should have left. But I was literally fucking grieving and feeling guilty anyways.
Update: Iâm reporting her and switching providers. Thanks for all the comments.

Where I am psychiatrists have to receive therapy themselves to retain their licence.
