I did think it "should" be a therapist's job to help find me a likely referral if she couldn't help. Like a doctor. Why did/do I view it like that? Because I wasn't functioning well and did not feel competent to know how to look for and find a therapist who was likely to be competent in treating me, for conditions which I could not fully describe and, as it turned out, didn't fully know that I had.

Of course the description and labeling of psychological conditions is somewhat problematic but the fact that I was not functioning well despite my best efforts (alone) was pretty clear to anybody that looked at my situation.
