Couch 43 ... 1 year !! Thanks for the memories

I have some naked juice, water, oatmeal, sandwich and soup stuff... but with this bug I don't wanna eat, as I am nausea's and I left my meds with W...so now i just suffer.

You should try tea or water or coca cola so you dont get dehydrated

F U C K F U C K call my insurance and apparentally they will be changing providers so i dont know what to do now i dont even know if the T i have now will be covered. and how can i look for a new one if my provider is going to change

i just so hate my F U C K I N G life so much

Lola - ACK! The return of swamp bug....sounds like a sequel that no one wants to watch. I hope you are able to get something in your system. It sucks to be away from home and sick....I hope you feel better soon. (( HUGS ))

(((( granite ))))

i wont even get a list of the MH providers or be able to talk to someone for another 2 weeks .

If T isn't covered by the new insurance granite, it at least gives you an easy way of leaving her and going to a new T.

i dont know how to find a new one with out know ing if they will be on my list of providers

I understand. It sucks that you have to wait a couple of weeks to find out that info. I'm so sorry granite. (((((((((granite)))))))))

Granite can your h call and get a straight answer out of someone? that is bs. You can't just leave people hanging like that.

OK...do you know what company you will have? You're here in MA, so your health insurance has to be good, probably one of the top names like HP, BC, Tufs, AE...If a t takes insurance, usually it's all of the top names. I know they switch the mental health side up a lot, but regardless of who they put for MH, they HAVE to give you the provisions that the health services give. You probably fall under Parity, so you are going to be covered. I would just call t's with the info you know. Some of them won't schedule you for right away, and you can cancel if need be.

oh...and here's a

((( granite )))

Maybe this is a way for you to take some time to work through what you're feeling, what your needs are and how you're going to work towards getting them met. A time to reflect on what happened in your T relationship and figure out what could be done differently next time, the obstacles that are in the way, etc.

how does this place sound I'M scared

verified by Psychology Today

The findings of modern neuroscience are coming together with the practices of ancient traditions in the service of people whose lives have been marked by experiences of extreme stress and loss. I identify my practice as part of this international effort to expand our understanding of the human mind, body, spirit and community. My work with clients is based on scientific evidence, guided by traditional wisdom, and dedicated to the art of moving together toward balance, realization and integration in the present moment.
I specialize in working with adolescents and adults who have experienced traumatic events, abuse, neglect or other kinds of profound loss. These people often have particular difficulty maintaining balance and a sense of well-being in everyday life. Common problems range from depression and anxiety to substance abuse, anger, physical health problems and dissociation.
People experiencing these kinds of complex posttraumatic difficulties often benefit from learning to use their minds and bodies as positive resources for balancing their lives. A primary goal in treatment is to develop skills that can be used in the present moment to connect to a sense of order, peace, spontaneity, and integration.

Looks good...is it a male or female? Emailing?

(((granite)))

I just read this about a T on the same site:
The bolded part pisses me off. Like he's gonna MAKE ME THINK we have a relationship.

Granite - the only thing that would concern me is that it says he has only been in practice for 6 years. I would personally want someone who had been practicing a lot longer than.

i did not see that stop that is a total deal breaker

i have tuffts navigator with UBH but in july it will be beakon for MH i dont see anything on line T accepting beakon . i see the name tuffts and wonder if that is just a blanket name. that if they say tuffts the take the MH part of it no matter what it is

granite, don't forget that you were going to look for someone who does expressive arts therapy, and I think someone who is more "out of the box", who has other ways to reach you. I think it's important for you to have a T who will let you email even if she doesn't email back, and whom you will feel safe enough to bring in your drawings. I know I'm describing my T, but you know I love my T! Most important, a T who will suggest the art stuff, or doing something else, not simply wait for you to ask. I KNOW there can be a good fit for you, and I very strongly feel that it should be someone open to reading your words, and exploring your artwork with you. Someone compassionate and down-to-Earth, who shows her caring but doesn't over whelm you.

You are assuming correct. Tufts is the main company, they have to accept beakon or stop accepting Tufts...no provider is going to stop accepting Tufts here in MA, they're too big.

You're actually going to do better because UBH is rough. That's who I have (under Hahvahd Pilgrim) and providers always say that they're the worst.

Granite - I also suggest trying out 3-4 before making a final decision. If you find 3-4 who look interesting, make appointments with all of them before deciding. I do not find any reason to think you have to commit to the first one you call.

yea....Rain is right, I forgot about the arts and creative stuff. But how do you search for that? They don't really list it on Psych Today.

When I started with my T, she had been practicing about that long, though she worked with a grief organization before that, for a number of years. I know skills and experience are important, but I think most important is how the T relates to you. Six years is a long time, to me. Just my opinion. Sometimes newer Ts are less set in their ways and are not burned out! Not that any T should practice if they're burned out, but I wouldn't eliminate a T solely based on their years of experience if everything else sounded good.

OMG this is all so sad and overwhelming and so real.i loved my T i just don't know what is going on .i know it is time for a new T. but it hurts
