So I'm on day two of quitting smoking, and also in week two of an intensive marriage class with my hubby. This week, we're studying our marital issues, and the main thing I struggle with is rage. I've been told this comes from my PTSD, and I see the correlation. I really, really want to get better for him. He deserves a lot more and I deserve to be healthy, too. So anyways. There is one therapist in my area that does cognitive behavioral therapy. One. I've called her twice this week to try to set up appointments, with no callbacks. Her office just told me that she's all booked, and anyways, she only takes college students. (I'm college age still, just not in college anymore. I'm an alum from the college that she counsels at!) So now what? I take my medicine, I'm quitting smoking using a smoking cleanse and anti anxiety vitamins, and I'm starting a new job today. All of these things, I know, are stepping in the right direction. But I need more help from someone that knows what they're doing!! Would it be better than no counseling to go back to my old T that hadn't gotten anywhere with me? Or to try a new T that doesn't necessarily specialize in what I need?
