[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 693905, member: 1967"] I am so sorry that it did not go well. My family has gone through our share of bad psychiatrists and counselors. I found my therapist through the NAMI classes that my husband and I were attending. A therapist that specialized in Borderline (BPD) and addiction came to speak to the NAMI class as a guest lecturer and the group was very impressed. Then another member of the class started going to that therapist and liked her so I called to make an appointment only to find that she only worked mornings which wouldn't work for me. The receptionist suggested another therapist in the same group and we immediately clicked. Don't give up. Call your local NAMI group and ask for suggestions for therapists that specialize in addiction and co-dependent family dynamics. Or attend an AlAnon or NarAnon meeting and ask people there if any of them can recommend a therapist. Another possibility is to reach out to online Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) groups to see if anyone can recommend someone in your area. It takes time finding the right therapist but you will know immediately if you feel comfortable with that person. [/QUOTE]
