downsolong,

It may be that you just have'nt found the right person yet.

I have been through several different mental-health professionals.
It was only when I was passed on to a PSYCHOLOGIST, that things started to work for me.
I do remember at one point wanting to give up with him but realised that we were somehow matched.Still with him now for 4 years and can see that the process is a very long one.

I guess it's finding the person who is experienced in your particular problem.
