Also what sort if therapist do you see? (Ie psychiatrist, psychodynamic...

I take many medications...antianxiety, antidepressants, corticosteroids,....in shortit all depends upon what the trigger is for the non epileptic seizures...for example for the anxiety related ones I take anti anxiety medications...right now one of the antianxiety meds that I am on is niravam
Im not going to list them all because what works for one person may not work for another. the best way to go about it is to work with your own treatment providers and you will through the process discover what works for your non epileptic seizures.
the type of therapist I see is a state licensed clinical social worker. here in New York all therapists are either state certified or state licensed clinical social workers. She does not limit herself to one or two ways of doing therapy. she works according to what ever problems her clients have. example if Im having problems at work then our sessions revolve around figuring out those problems, if Im having problems with depersonalization or other dissociative problems then our sessions revolve around things like grounding, relaxation, meditation, mindfulness,
my suggestion is dont worry about what kind of therapist to see, think about what your problem areas are and what you need to fix those problems in your life so that you will feel better. the thing about therapy approaches is that for some people one therapy approach/technique will work and for another that same one wont work for them. best to discover what works for you.
