There is very little I remember from my talk therapy when going through all the med changes and trying to grasp the dx of bipolar .I cried a lot and didn't feel I was stable enough to really get it. But that doesn't mean it wouldn't be different for you , you may have a T who can better access how to help you through this. I think the only real thing I got from first T t experience was it was recommended to go to a domestic violence group meeting . I was there shown my emotional abuse from spouse & back through my childhood. But she wasn't the right T for me . I was given meds for depression from my pc doc and a referral to a psychiatrist that sent papers for me to fill out , I did and sent them back . It took 2 months before I heard from his office, I was in no shape to refer back to my pc doc about the issue . She just kept upping the antidepressant until she couldn't up them without changing them and I said stop . I wanted a more specialized doc. I think on a deeper level we know what may be best for us . Best of luck
