[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 229236, member: 84"] Heather While reading your post I envisioned Nichole and I with one of our marathon talk sessions. They can be very draining for both of us. But usually very productive in the end. Most especially for her as it lets her get her Thoughts out on the table and really take a good look at them. While I'm mostly there just to guide her along because I don't take sides in such talks. And yeah, about an hour in I start feeling like a therapist. :raspberry-tounge: lol They are so productive for Nichole because she never completely trusts any therapist or psychiatrist no matter how well she likes them. Which means she's never completely honest with them. This is all thanks to one psychiatrist telling her she was lying about hearing voices and seeing people back when she was 15. (nice, huh) And sinse I don't freak out no matter what she tells me.........she has no apprehension telling me anything. I understand the medication issue. Nichole hates them. Although even she agrees that during the time she was on them, she needed them. But she's determined now to learn ways of coping that don't involve medications, and she's doing well. But also agrees that she would return to medications if she ever became that unstable again. Wynter is trying hard to overcome her anxiety and fears. If you could find a good match with a therapist she could most likely go very far in conquering most of it if not all. (simply because she wants it so bad and is willing to do the work) And knowing she can come to you when she needs to without you freaking out on her......will be an awesome support system to her. I had more luck with psychiatrists than tdocs (go figure) for both Nichole and I. Never did find a really good match in tdocs for either of us. I hope you have better luck.
