I did the original search yesterday; today was when I copied the text of all the T's there just to confirm my first impressions.

Another possibility - have you checked the Psychology Today search?
In the past, yes, though I have not copied all the texts and put them in one place.

I have also looked via the Am. Psychological ***'n, the psychiatric ***'n, psychoanalytic ***'n, etc. Not probably with total thoroughness.

You know what stinks? How when we're looking for a T, we already feel really bad (or why would we need a T at that moment?). I think that makes it feel 579257824905 times harder.

Sometimes, like this morning (and most recent mornings), I am almost a non-entity (which is what my mother wanted). I can't think of anything at all. Nice when I go to a potential therapist? I have never met one who, I think, would know about that kind of state of mind and cope with it well.

What I want is someone who, when reading all the guff I put out, or say in person, if I manage to say anything at all, is to realize the anxiety that lies underneath it all, and who will react to that perception in a mindful way, something that does not increase my anxiety. I don't know anyone who does that.
