Thanks for your responses. They did help. I see him tomorrow morning, we'll see how it goes.
Yes, Daisy, I do have faith in him. I just feel a lot better when I have a clear plan in my mind... Maybe he can help clarify things.
Racer, "So, which would you rather be: someone who could do 12 sessions of CBT and go on with your life? Or someone with the strength and courage to spend 9 years working hard to work out the underlying issues and resolve them fully, so that they don't haunt you -- and don't come back?" Without a question I would rather be the 9 years person. I'm just afraid that I'll spend 9 years working hard and NOT resolve them and STILL have to deal with them. I guess I don't have a lot of faith that my ultimate prognosis is going to be good (his words were "guarded, but positive prognosis").
Dee, so if I don't come across as sick, why is it that I can't function??? Sorry, I'm just frustrated. It does help to know that I'm not alone.
Jane (yes, I believe that is the name you were searching for), When I was looking for my second therapist I asked my first one what she thought it would be important for me to look for in a therapist. She said "You need a therapist who is very smart", and that's all she said.
Thanks for the support, guys. Hopefully I'll be a little more optimistic after I see him tomorrow.
