[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 703790, member: 1233"] Most Domestic Violence groups have help that is MUCH more immediate than 3 months. You generally start with an intake appointment and then a group therapy placement. After group you move to individual therapy as it is needed. For some situations it is different, of course. The website I posted, for RAINN, opens to a page that will connect you to help in YOUR area, and it is supposed to be one of the most extensive sources of help for survivors of abuse that exists. It is also supposed to be one of the most reputable groups around, so it isn't a group that is fly by night or just out there for what it can get for itself, it is truly there to help those who need it. I don't know your employer, but many employers have what is called an EAP, or Employee Assistance Program. THis is a program that has an 800 number that you call and they give you a referral to a professional who can see you in a fairly short amount of time. Most of these programs pay for the first 2-4 sessions and cover professionals like lawyers, psychologists, etc... It is NOT something that employers track the reason that you use the service for, or the number of times you use the service. THe service is totally confidential for employees, and is part of your Human Resource package. It is at least worth looking at your employee handbook to see if you have one of these. They can be very handy and often employees don't even know they have them because they are not really talked about. But when used, they cut down on absenteeism and increase performance, so most corporations have them. I am glad that it makes sense to get some help for yourself. It really makes a difference when you help yourself. I know there have been times when I had to get some help for things. I didn't think my kids even knew I was having problems, but getting help for myself truly made a huge difference for each of them, even though my problems had nothing to do with anything any of my children did or had ever done. We truly are glad you are here, and we hope you continue to be a part of our community. [/QUOTE]
