I hope you get one this time that you can "click" with -- someone you can relate to. It's really important to be able to REALLY relate to. Otherwise, it's not easy to open up to him/her and tell them our 'secrets.' I remember one psychiatrist I had who just sat there and grunted. He never said much, he just grunted. I didn't stay with him very long. Not only that, but before my first visit, he called me at home and wanted to know how I was going to PAY for it!! What a jerk.

Then there was the therapist who sexually molested me. I ran from him FAST!!

My shrink in the mental hospital was great, and I saw her for a year. Then she retired.

The one I loved was a pschologist - I could tell her anything. She was just awesome, and showed me how to get my power back. Without her, I wouldn't be as healthy mentally as I am now. I owe her almost everything.

So it is important that you can relate to your therapist. Otherwise it just doesn't work. Hugs, Lee
