I hear people share - like you, so many need help and the situation with finding a genuine Ts is appalling - the industry is a shambles.
So, well, Im always full of ideas, my own opinion is that we shoud have a AA style group for the disorders.... however all attempts at that didnt fly.
Hey did you really try to put those AA type groups together RiverX? Pachyderm, I highly think AA is the ticket, and I'm not even an alcoholic! Alanon and ACA were helpful to my situation, but I went to an AA meeting every day for awhile when I was in my twenties, they are more popular, I did desire to quit drinking, so I made the requirements. Till this day I agree with what I learned there.

You have so many groups to choose from, you drop in anytime, you can donate whatever you want, no obligation. Plus you get to hear many peoples opinions, and counter opinions, so you aren't dependent on the one T that you don't know or trust. You'll meet people like yourself, good friendships are made there. You can even have a sponsor for free. They recommend it. It's so much more progressive than therapy. It gives you steps, and books and let's you do the work. Scientifically speaking, I give it a thumbs up!! If I go again I'll let you know.

Also, what about self-help books that interest you? Follow a journey on your own path. The other idea I have is diet, exercise, herbs, accupunture, EFT, the Sedona Method etc. I could go on. All stuff I use, and love. Light years ahead of therapy, IMO.

I don't know where you are at in life Pachyderm, but I can tell you are not far from where you want to be. I think it's right in front of you and all you need to do is grab hold of it.
