Thanks. Yes, sheīs a case counselor but she also has a basic education in psychotherapy. Iīve seen her in her role as a case counselor for almost a year but she offered to see me about my issues as it didnīt work out with the psychotherapist I met with this autumn.
The case counselor told me I could write a document about what I want to talk about and so I did and I also left it to her. Iīm at a dead end within psychiatry as I already tried two different therapists and when that didnīt work out due to chemistry and their therapeutic orientation I was sent back to this case counselor.

I think you should look for a licensed counselor who is properly trained in talk-therapy to talk to.
