Jimmy, if your issues stem from anxiety, social phobias and childhood problems I am betting you will need longterm. To find a good T, I have used doctors I like and trust. So far that has helped especially since the T I have find is a patient of one of my doctors and she has known her for 15 years and she specializes in anxiety issues and difficult disorders like BP I and II and DI/DID. When I felt like we were having issues, I went back to my doctor friend and she urged me like many others on this site to talk to my T again. I did and I set up another session. The point I am trying to make in my rambling way, is when you get referrals from other doctors you know and use then you stand a better chance of getting one that suits you. Or as Dory did use the internet to search those in the area. That would have been harder for me since I don't have experience with T to know what kinds of questions to ask. My doctor friend gave me a referral based on a T she thought would be good for me knowing me. Now the other good thing was my doctor friend herself sees a T. That is a good plus if you can get friends who see a T to referr but that is much harder. Good luck with your search and you too Phillip. I have another friend that is psychologist who said she had trouble finding a T that could help her since she knew too much and interfered with her own treatment. She has found group therapy helpful. I don't know if that is helpful to anyone. Just thought I would throw that out there. She has been in now over a year and says at first it was the most hardest thing she ever did but has saved her. But Emily I am glad to know that you would go back to the camp therapy but for me I would have a hard time going.
