I'm jealous that you have a doctor teaching those things. Is this a psychologist? I live in such a remote area we have so little in the way of mental health care options. Only one psychologist and the bridges were burned with as soon as I got my bipolar diagnosis and started on medication. We have two psychiatrists.. and they seem to be good. But they don't do anything other than check up on me to make sure my meds are working.

Yea it was my very first therapist who was a psychologist. Personally, I find they are more helpful than counselors. At least for my issues. But they're not always easy to find. It took me a while to find him. A good psychiatrist isn't easy either unless you're near a major metropolitan area. I don't live extremely far from the city, but far enough that going up there is inconvenient since I will have to take time off or rearrange my work schedule. Anyway, I'm rambling....I hope you are able to find one. Don't be discouraged if you don't right away. All things mental health is trial and error.
