Thanks, Perna!
I'll check them out right after Yom Kippur. I have to get ready for it now.

Today was a *bit* better,
except the clinician, (a different one), who told me that all I have to do about my chronic back pain, (2001 - present), is "think of something different, and it will go away." I've had back surgery, years of PT, pain pills, (which I stopped, because I will *not* get addicted), and now chiropractic, and neurological investigations. But, of course, this clinician KNOWS MORE!

When I told him NOT to go there, he continued!
Thus, in DBT terminology, he "invalidated" me!
I got so upset, I was crying, pissed off angry again!
Didn't hear a word he said afterwards,
and it took everything I had not to walk out again!
I should have, though.

I did report it to my case manager.
Right afterwards.
I expect it will *not* happen again.
If it does, the crappola *will* hit the fan,
believe me.
I didn't go there to be abused by a JACKARSE!

If and when he gets his medical license,
AND he becomes my doctor,
Then, and ONLY then
will he have ANY right to discuss my back!

But, in the context of a DBT clinician,
He *certainly* has no right to invalidate me!!!

Anyway, gotta go,
So, thanks for the link!

Peace!
