You probably know, or I've said it before, that I've never gone to university or had any formal education beyond high school. I don't think I would do well in a group-think situation, where perhaps you are painted with a pretty broad brush. Put into housing that not only is less than ideal, but detrimental to you.
My therapist was born, raised, and trained in California. There are probably as many therapists there as lawyers, which is a good thing. Keeps those with the license on the cutting edge, with an open mind, and my T is good at reading non verbal signals.
My pdoc is also California trained. Really, I live in the worse state for mental health care in the country. Florida attracts no great practioners. I looked very hard and had some incredibly stupid experiences before I ended up with the people I did.
But university and that experience; I missed out on a lot, but I got to do a lot of writing, reading, and observing on my own. I don't think I would have survived the experience.
Keep writing here. I love to read your mind processing this stuff.
