My psychotherapist is awesome!  I love talking with him, though I don't obviously schedule a session unless there is something to discuss.

Pretty much sums up my position.. I sometimes don't like him much, as he seems to know the questions that will make me feel uncomfortable.. But he is very good..

Do I like it? Hard to say... My therapist digs pretty deep sometimes and it hurts like hell, but she is also very compassionate and knows when I have had too much for the day. I can't say that I really like it, but I do appreciate it.

Had one very bad and one very good experience, that sums it up: YES and NO for me.

  It's me and 2 "Others" at this point.  My first one was not experienced in the late '70s.  I am having a hard time finding a therapist.  Phones disconnected or they are not taking cases.  Average a 3 month waiting period for any kind of consultation if they have a waiting list.  Physicians the same.  My medical provider is a LPN with a PhD.  A stopgap measure at this time.  At least I get my scripts and tests with him.  It doth sucketh.
