Thanks. Thatīs ok, there are a lots of people writing on this forum, itīs easy to mix peoples stories up.
I appreciate you sharing around this, that you have gone through similar stuff. Did you get help within the public health care or did you have to pay for a private T?
Here psychotherapy within church has no direct religious connection, itīs more a "service" within the church and instead of the therapist being a psychologist they often are priests or similar but with the same education to become a licensed psychotherapist as other work groups. But Iīm still afraid though, itīs difficult to know how "bad" my mental health condition is. I mean if they canīt "handle" me and Iīve choosen to end my contacts within the public health care, then Iīll have to start over.
But I do believe that the general attitude towards people is quite different between health care providers within public care compared with therapy within the church. That I probably would like the attitude within the church better. Very hard to know what to do.

I can really identify with being 'the "good and competent girl" who had good grades and behaved in a nice way'. It was very hard for me to know who I was besides that. "Therapy" was "supposed" to help with that, I thought, but it took years, if it really did. And now I'm old!  Well, we all get there eventually, unless it's the alternative. 
I did have some good years, so I certainly can't complain about everything.
I'm not religious myself personally but I like your idea of looking for counseling in a church. It may be that you would find someone who is more caring and interested in you as a person in that environment. And if it doesn't work work out entirely, maybe it will still help a little. |
