You could even call McLean and perhaps get a lead on some therapists here in the US who are trained in the techniques. Couldn't hurt!
Yes I'm in the Philadelphia region. Having read a little more on the two therapies I mentioned in the header I think the metacognitive one is much more interesting to me, the other one (MBT) seems a little bit like mind-reading, I have an unhealthy tendency to do that already. A while ago I sent an email to the guy in Britain who developed MCT, but he hadn't trained anyone from the U.S. in it at that time.
