Hi again Linn,
Thanks for your message and I will send a private message in the next day or two. I am so glad you have found a therapist and hope you like the person and feel better when you leave sessions than when you came in (one of my major rules). Always remember that you can "shop" for a therapist the way you can shop for others who are there to help you. Thus far I seem to have had pretty good luck during those times when I have sought out therapy (like now). I usually get recommendations from my "regular" doctors. Although I live in Atlanta ......I am from Ohio (!) and spent the first thirty years of my life there. I was born in Warren, OH (near Youngstown) and the PA border and did my undergrad and grad work in Ohio. I then traveled "all the way" to Detroit for a postdoc at Wayne State. I moved down south strictly for jobs (a am a university professor so one must often take good jobs when they are offered and where they are offered). I am not saying anything negative about Atlanta or Clemson, SC before that but I was quite happy up north and felt very comfortable there. Interestingly, one of the schools my daughter received a nice merit offer was Ohio Wesleyan U. in Deleware, OH!!! Plus, she fell in love with it (I was secretly very very happy about this as the alternative was going to be even further away in Texas) I think Deleware, OH is about four hours from you. So, we may very well (more in the p.m.) get a chance to meet up half way or so on one of my visits. And my daughter will soon set me up and teach me how to Skype. I am an older mom so despite my constant use of computers for writing/teaching at the university level I don't have "fun" with them too often (I am also pretty "out of the loop" on other entertaining/helpful electronics. But that will change. More in my private message soon. Best,
