Not to make this any more complicated…but I have had good luck with therapists who have a counseling degree in social work. They specialize in all sorts of therapies. Of course I also had a wonderful psychologist. It sounds like you are not making a good connection with your current psychologist—maybe you should try a new one.

I have a psychiatrist and a therapist. The therapist spends an hour with me and helps me work through issues. My psychiatrist spends 30 mins with me and manages my meds—we don’t get into the deep issues. He is more concerned with how my thought processes are and the effects of my meds.
