Thank you, I appreciate your comments. My psych doctor, who manages my meds, actually agreed with me that going through the VA for therapy is counter-productive bc of the way they handle it, with the 12 sessions and that's it.... because I have too many issues to cover in 12 sessions, so she's putting in an order to allow me to have long-term therapy outside the VA, with the VA paying for it! She is just so nice. that the word 'nice' doesn't even cover it.
