My pdoc gave me a dbt workbook for anxiety and phobias, it was pretty helpful.

I know, I hate confrontation too, but maybe it's how you are framing it in your mind. It is not critisim, but asking for what you need, the one thing most therapists I think would try to teach us, so hopefully she would be receptive to that. I think she would be. Maybe if she can't do it she can help you find someone who does this, or more resources.

I think we see more medition as science proves it physically changes the brain. It can increase grey matter, biochemical changes, brain wave changes, changes in the prefrontal and posterior cortex, and they way we use them. Which is some of what we use medication to target as well. Anyways, I think that is partly why we are starting to see more of a leaning towards it.

Good luck, I hope you work through this, and have the courage to ask!
