Thrive to spite them

I'd look at types of therapy. So the outpatient program I'm starting is DBT therapy and I know that's been helpful for many people and several Buffistas.

The therapist I'm seeing does Internal Family Systems which is a new type of therapy and I like. It's talking but talking with a point - not exactly trying to identify the exact cause for a problem -but identifying "parts" that are in pain and working to where they aren't in pain.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

askye, I can see how both approaches could be useful to you. I hope you get lots of good out of it.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

erin, seconding what others have said, look up CBT and DBT and see if either of those are things that might interest you, and you can usually call your insurance carrier and ask them to give you names of those therapists that specialize in either of those. Best of luck to you.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Can't sleep. Coughing/wheezing too much.

Hil, I'm sorry. You have been dealing with this for way too long.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

Sj, you are doing really well. Perfection is a difficult game with diabetes. It takes awhile to figure out how everything works for you. That is a really good level of control so quickly. You got a lot of good advice above. Congratulations on doing so well

CBT is a good therapy for me. And lots of people have had good luck with EMDR (I think?)
