I was saying to myself that I'd give the shrink a couple more visits, but I've been realizing that she alienated herself to me right away by focusing on my diet... If she'd waited to broach the subject after a few visits, I might have been more open, but I felt like I was being attacked from the get-go... So I'm cancelling the next sessions I had set up.

I don't know if I'll go forward w/another shrink or not... I'm feeling pretty hostile, towards the whole idea & towards myself for even seeking exterior assistance.

I have seen three therapists in my lifetime. The first when I was 16, was an amazing person and was a huge help to me. The second, a few years ago, I only had a few visits with, but I was very comfortable talking with her and she made no assumptions about me. Unfortunately she had to pass me along to someone else because she was full. The third, I had about 4 sessions with and stopped showing up. She made me uncomfortable and started me way to soon on silly little homework exercises that I saw as a complete waste of time at that moment. It is difficult to find the right therapist for you. I totally understand how frustrating it can be.

It's really hard w/my insurance, too - I have to pick a name out of a hat, basically, go through bazillion switchboards to find out if they're on my plan, get pre-authorization... and hope they have an appointment w/in the next year or so.

I'm kind of hesitant to go thru all that to find another doctor right away... I can handle homework assignments - the more lists the better. But leave my potatoes & rice alone, damnit!!!
