This will be my third, sort of. I started with a psychologist who was great. She was able to dig in and bring things out of me. Good breakthroughs, she got emotional responses with me. But I was going nuts being restricted to 2 hours a week. I had so much to talk about.

So we tried php and it was terrible. I was worse coming out of there each day then I went in. So I left after two days.

So I went back to T #1 and asked for more time. She couldn't/wouldn't give it to me. So I found a new guy. I can get as much time as I need with him. But he doesn't draw things out of me and if I don't have a topic to discuss then we talk football or something. He describes it as "we've created me my own day program." And that's fine, insurance covers all but $20 a visit. But I'm now to a point I don't feel like progress is being made.

So I've got an appointment with a female psychologist next week to discuss with her what she could do for me. Try and see if we are a good fit. I'll admit, really missed the first T after I stopped going to her. And I have thought that maybe I'm to a point that two hours a week plus my group might be enough, that I'm working on things on my own in between sessions with journaling.

So if this new one doesn't seem like she can fit into the equation, I may call the first one again. I'm pretty sure she'd see me again.

Good luck with it. Doing the work in between sessions is a big part of it. Journaling has really helped me a lot.
