Am I doing this wrong?

Because you start as a PGY1. Psych is categorical, so it is only one "block". Specialties like Radiology require a preliminary year, so people can do a prelim somewhere else and go for pgy2+ at another institution.

So in terms of applying as a PGY2 I need to contact programs directly rather than ERAS? I'm honestly willing to start again as a PGY-1 but Id prefer to continue on as a PGY-2

it would be helpful if you provided any information at all regarding your situation.

There are generally some specifically PGY2 Psych slots afaik.

That is true, but the few ones that I've heard about were more transfer-related, I am not sure if they were through the match.
