Thanks for this! I'm glad you bring up mental illness--I think it's around this issue that my T has been most actively instructional. He's certainly never claimed to have special knowledge about 'life' in general, but life with a mental illness? Let's just say I needed psychoeducation, skills for coping, information about the illness. And, indeed, who better to help than a professional.
Thanks again!
