I'm very sorry that you're experiencing such a deep depression. I wonder if you have been as honest with your pdoc or therapist as you have with us. And if you haven't then you really need to print your post out and hand it to him/her. I don't look at meds as a magic potion either, but I do look at an empathic, caring person as a life-saver- and I truly believe that is what you need right now. You wrote your pdoc was 'nice', perhaps you could share with him that the silences make you uncomfortable (I bet all of us have felt that way). As far as using an eclectic approach, most pdocs and therapists do, at leat until they find the best approach to use with their patient, a process that takes a while unfortunately (although with your honest approach you can do a lot to speed it up). I hope you feel better soon-judy
