In reply to Talk therapy, does it realy work?, posted by Sebastian on August 26, 2004, at 18:58:31
I think you have to keep looking for the right doctor. People "click" naturally. I went through a few therapists where I felt like I was playing 20 questions and was actively getting worse and this idiot (to paraphrase the Canadian politician) wasn't hearing ANYTHING I said.
Some people get along. Most (for me, at least), do not. So now I have strict parameters for selecting my doctors. Bedside manner is Number 1. Where they ranked in their class is #2. How much their staff loves them is even more important than the other two because it shows they respect them.
And yes, Sebastian. For me, with meds and talk therapy, I am much better than I was. And it doesn't feel like mania, but like PEACE. It is a gift.
