Thanks for the links, Alexandra K. Psychoanalysis, isn't that Freud, with penis envy and Oedipus and all that? Ahhhhh! Don't know if I'm ready for THAT yet.

I checked PsyDs covered by my insurance and there are about eight people in the area, some on the staff at the university. I don't think I can stomach a master's level person again.

I just finished reading a book, "Active Treatment of Depression," by Richard O'Connor, that was very enlightening about the therapist's role and why they act the way they do in a session. It also goes over characteristics of depressed people, and how to approach them. I fit it exactly. I would really recommend this book to anyone who is depressed or in therapy for depression. It's about $35 at Amazon. Expensive, but cheaper than half an hour with a therapist!
