That's really what I am after.

My first therapist was old school and did Transactional Analysis. I think it was helpful because this is when I first started to deal with my past and childhood. It quickly became out of vogue. CBT was the big new thing. DBT was first invented I believe. I happen to like them both. Actually most of my in the past issues I dealt with in AA and Alanon. My current therapist is mostly talk but she throws in CBT and DBT. It serves me because my issues are very current in how to deal with current situations in my life.

Costs and insurance companies suck. I am glad they are making some progress in trauma therapy though. It seems to me a big problem is lack of providers and them being overloaded. How can they really review your history when they have 50 people lined up and no time to do it.
