I think that is disgusting! Imagine going to an oncologist and them asking what meds you recommend just because you work on the ward. One of the things with mental health is that's it's so hard to quantify. We all experience things differently.
I'm sorry this has happened in the past. I think you have every right to complain. I sit on a board for MIND charity and if we heard of this practice in my own authority there would be an investigation and ramifications.
Hell, it's stressful enough without worrying about this.
I still stand by what I say but more importantly write things down. I think if you have built up a relationship with the same psych over time then you should be expected to contribute more. In the initial stages they should lead.
If you have the strength I'd mention what happened th last time.
Good luck xx
