So I was diagnosed with psychosis 2 years ago and got great CBT through a research program that ended a year ago. I'm in the process of going off the medicine that maintains my health per my pdocs advice. I would like to be in therapy at the time to reduce my stress which is a cause of psychosis. I'm hoping that I can get off the meds but there is a greater chance that I'll become psychotic again.

Because I might start seeing/hearing things that aren't there I need a therapist that won't be afraid of me and drop me at this critical time. Certainly I can ask how they feel about psychosis but I'm not really sure how commonly people get therapy for this since it doesn't actually work for the voices. I'm picturing going in with people who have never actually seen a psychotic person and might not know how to react. I realize they're professionals but it can be hard to mask your response to this condition because its pretty much the maximum level of crazy.

Anyway I would appreciate any advice on how to find a good T with a high tolerance for crazy.
