i tried out a few therapists before i found "the one". she greatly assisted me to 'find the woman' who i am today.

therapy is a good thing... for pretty much everyone. i don't think there's anyone who couldn't benefit from some therapy at some point in their life.

funny story... i was depressed a few years ago and my doctor made me see a therapist. he knew i'd already done loads of therapy... but he insisted. he sent me to this guy who felt that 'clarity' is wrong and 'sarcasm' is your friend. he recommended that instead of being clear with people (as in his opinion no one likes someone who tells it like it is) that using sarcasm as a tool for communication was much better.

when i completely disagreed with him and spent my sessions telling him all the reasons he was wrong - he wrote me a letter to my doctor saying... 'aleesha has had too much therapy and therefore my methods are not assisting her'. LOL when i told my doctor his 'methods'... my doctor was shocked. he had no idea. none of his patients ever told him this about the guy before... (yes he was a schooled psychiatrist) - and so he stopped referring his patients there.

so don't feel the 'shrink' is always right... you have to find the one who 'specializes' in your needs... and who resonates with you as a person.

i wish you your greatest good!
