Thanx Ursa. A lot of you gals think I don't want to listen to your advice, but I registered here for just that reason. I see some real concern and sincerity in some of the wording written here. Finally, I am convinced I will have to leave the managed care bible belt region of middle Tn. to...

Thanx To All Thanks to all who replied. I am at the end of my therapeutic rope. I can not understand why I am singled out and attacked by the people I have been exposed to in the mental health industry. I can not for the life of me understand. Being of different gender does not help, but having...

One question I need to pose here; How can I screen potential providers ?? Invariably, I get involved with one and it's only after the first pre-certed 10 visits do their underlying inadequacies begin to surface and any therapy that ever could have occurred fails. This costs a bundle, not only in...

Without body language, eye contact, and only textual cues, I do not know how to react to a lot of what is written here. At any rate, believe me when I say, I did not start this yesterday, and the past 11 years have been extreme. I have yet to find a provider who is willing to meet even the...

Thank you all, but I am still searching for other people I can actually see and engage facial expression and eye contact with as in a therapy group. One day here and I already rec'd an infraction message for improperly capitalizing the title (?) With only textual cues, I don't know how to take...

You are a young lady and you deserve better. Think about how a young ladies are supposed to be treated by the world, and let that influence how you live. Expect better, because you simply deserve it. Tom S. in Tn.

I must have been so elated seeing everyone's similarity to me while reading all the posts elsewhere, I must have overlooked this forum to make an introduction. Sorry, I will tell a little about me here, but please read my frustrations with the health care system in general, and the abuse I have...

I am new to this site and just reading some of the posts, but if no one minds I would like to add; As an RN, it has been my experience with the health care system in this country (and I won't start with mental health), that an individual absolutely must have an advocate with the ability to stand...

I don't want to sound too derogatory, but I don't have a lot of latitude in who I get to see, let alone find any males who have a mental health practice. They simply don't exist, in middle Tennessee anyway. There is no way to screen a provider except for public record, make the appointment, and...

I am new here, but could not help but add to this post. As an RN I can assure you, EMDR, brain spotting, horse whispering, etc... all have absolutely no medical basis, despite the somatic responses it might achieve. Anything can work that you believe works even though you're still sick...

I am a 52 y/o male who has been in and out of counseling and seen approx 30 different mental health practitioners at all levels since age 17. I was molested by a hippie social worker in a county run mental health center in 1973 at 17 when I was sent there for severe anxiety and inability to...
