Yes, it helps me now. She's also a bit bossy at times about self-care/safety issues, which also helps me. I'm really not doing well and she's a clinical psych working out of a hospital psychiatric dept with ppl who are generally quite sick, so her approach is a bit more hands on. She's also free/covered by Canadian medicare.

I check off my meals I eat (i have a meal plan with a nutritionist in the hospital), if I take off my meds (psychiatric and others), and cleaning tasks that I check off. It really helps me because I have something to look at and also sometimes I do it just to show her I did. She also asks if I self harmed (I avoid it more bec I don't want to tell her), to see them to make sure they aren't infected, and urges me to go for stitches when it happens. She has also madee promise to go to my other medical appts like surgery follow up, and it's probably the only reason why I went. My self care is very very bad so it helps.
