Besides I think I would like regular therapy more, personally, on a regular schedule with some psycho-social education thrown in now and again.

Yeah that's what I had in mind, but we definitely do not have that here or I've never heard of it even though I've looked at many options for stuff. We have various programmes and stuff but none of it is about this. Outpatient programmes, yeah, inpatient programmes, I've seen all that (never been part of any of it, I'm just saying I checked out a LOT of options), none of it is about simply psychosocial education (ofcourse I mean stuff that goes beyond basics that you get to pick up on your own in life). It's all therapy, to get "fixed", and I'm bored out of my mind by now if I think of that.
Can I ask you what it is that you'd like from regular therapy on top of such mental health education? The things that others listed in this thread, having someone with empathy where you don't have to reciprocate, stuff like that or something completely different?
I'm just asking because I'd just like to hear from people on this question, especially as compared to the above.
