The two therapists I saw prior to my current one both terminated, but for different reasons. The first one took me about 7 years to recover enough to try again. This last one took about 5 months, and even then it was a struggle to find this one I'm seeing now.

Calling or emailing without a reference is like playing darts in the dark. I eventually talked to a colleague who told me about a great psychologist, but when she returned my call she said she wasn't taking any new clients; however, she gave me three names to try. And that led me to this one I've got that's really great. She is not a psychologist, but that really doesn't matter so much. What matters to me is their experience.

So, my advice is to ask someone, anyone, whose opinion you trust, and take that lead. Each time you run into a deadend, ask the therapist (if you like her/him) for a recommendation. It's hard work, exhausting and discouraging. Sometimes, you have to take a break until you can try again. Eventually, something will open up.
