SO.... let him have the dogs.... you go do the things you love to do, and you will meet people that love to do the same (that's how I met Milady) and you will be happier.

Please note that I also offer recommendations for choosing a therapist under my Tips section.View Thread
- Are you licensed and how long have you been practicing?
- Do you have an area of specialization? What is it?
- What therapeutic approach do you usually use; and, can you explain it to me?
- Offer the person a thumbnail sketch of your problem and ask if they have experience treating this kind of issue. Also ask how they would treat your problem.
If you are satisfied with the answers, then schedule an appointment. At this meeting, the therapist will ask more detailed questions about your problem to help determine how to help you. This is also a time for you to evaluate how comfortable you are with the therapist. Having a good rapport with the therapist is essential to effective therapy; so, if you are not comfortable with the person, then consider whether you need to find another qualified professional to help you. A therapist can be excellent and still not be the right person for you.View Thread
