[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 725428, member: 1550"] I suggest when getting a therapist (I have had many in my life) to perhaps look for a woman who is within ten years of your age. My experiences have been that most of the men did not understand how a mother thinks (and in my opinion mother-think is usually different from father-think) and when the therapist was too young to have had our life experiences, it did not help that much for me either. Of course, this is just me. There are good therapists out there. If one rubs you wrong, just quit and find another. They work for us, not the other way around. Don't be afraid to get up and leave, even in the middle of a session, if you feel a particular therapist is, say, blaming you. And don't stop looking for help because the first one doesn't resonate. Somebody will! [/QUOTE]
