Lurkings,

I am also glad to hear that you found a good therapist for yourself. More importantly, you advocated for yourself, and didn't just accept that what you were getting was all there was. That kind of strenght tells me you are going to be allright.

Therapy can be wonderful with the right therapist. Just because one doesn't work, doesn't mean they were a bad therapist. But therapists are people too, and as people we just don't always click. With a therapist it is very important that there is a good strong connection. I loved my last therapist. She was not even licensed yet, but was an intern, yet she was very good, and we had a very good connection.

Keep up the good work Lurkings, things will only get better for you.
