Very happy for you! And glad you found one! But I tried so many, and they don't come with a guarantee, and when therapy fails it leaves you more broken, for awhile at least, plus poorer and feeling more used and taken and discarded.

It would be great, I think, if some of the "good" or competent ones, including Dr. Smith perhaps, could begin to recognize the harm done by the ones who are still too damaged internally themselves. Calling it a "bad fit" or blaming it on inadequate supervision or consultation is -- well, to my mind -- insane. When, if ever, will a client find a good one? The professionals are overlooking a lot of contrary evidence I suspect. But who's counting?
