I'm glad you are taking your time with all this and feel no need to rush into anything you are not comfortable with.
I never did well with therapists, I think I frustrated them, lol, but it rarely went well at all. The worst therapist ever encouraged me to "talk about it" and when I did she only had two responses..."deal with it"...and..."get over it". Yah, right, who knew it could be that simple, duh!
Having a sense of humour and the ability to laugh at myself, served me well until I could find my balance again with recovery.
