Hello NeverNeverLand87: I don't see a therapist at this point. I do still have a psychiatrist I see occasionally. My problem has pretty-much always been that no matter how desperate I feel inside, when I get into my pdoc's or a therapist's office, I slap a smile on my face & say everything is okay. I just never have been able to get past it. I'm glad you plan to stick with counseling. It's a process that takes time & effort.
