Okay, about 3 weeks ago, my brother texted me the names of 3 therapists in the Cincinnati area that one of his psychology teachers recommends. I finally found that text and checked our insurance to see if any of them are covered, and one is. She also is on the Psychology Today website that (I think) askye had mentioned. So I'm going to send her a message to see if she's taking new patients.
Right. At this point, I am reporting my successes in the tiniest of baby steps. I haven't actually emailed, but I FOUND someone to actually email! Woo!
Also going to take a walk because it's no longer as hot as the fires of Mt. Doom.
Toes in the pool for the win!
Shoot, Steph, finding someone who actually takes your insurance is a major step!
Hil, I have seen that a lot. People just don't think it through.
Yeah, part of my problem is that I'm also not sure how upset I'm gonna be if I'm right. Looks like Grandma wants her funeral in the Midwest so I'm most likely going to be spared/ missing out on that bit, too. Relieved and also sad about that...

Y'know, there are times when I miss living in the States, and then there are times like this.
Baby steps are about the only way. And yeah I found my therapis through Psychology Today. I found it was a decent way to sort through people by the type of therapy they do and by what they specialize in (since I was looking for someone who works with trauma).
Zen it sucks you have to go through this.
The health care system is so broken and I hate it.
And that stupid people put steps in front of a ramp I mean really.
I need to finish a job application and I will try tonight.
Walk taken and email sent to therapist!

Well, according to Humana, she's in our plan. I'll have to double-check with her. Assuming she's accepting new clients.
If people would cross their fingers for me, or otherwise send accepting-new-patients-ma, I'd appreciate it. I need to sort my brain weasels out.
Okay, I have an appointment with a therapist in 2 weeks! At 8 a.m., holy Jesus. (Look, working from home has shifted my hours. I am not a morning person. But I'll be one -- or at least be awake -- if I can get my brain weasels wrangled.)
Woo! (I have several sessions a week; one of them is at 7:45 am)
