Nice job, I can tell just from reading this you've progressed, without even knowing you. My first therapy session was 25 years ago and my most recent was this past Saturday. I've had probably 4-5 therapists in between there and have been with my current about 2 years. It's generally an atrocious, time consuming, and overly complicated process to find any kind of mental health professional in this country. I've gotten referrals for therapists plenty of times only to find out they won't bill to insurance companies because it's not worth the effort. Different insurance companies also pay therapists differently which usually ends up with therapists only taking insurance that can help them pay their bills. I asked my therapist once about it and he said he felt terrible but he had to drop certain insurances because they only paid half as much as others. Half!
Enjoyed the post! There is so much more I could probably say on this topic, haha.

Wow, I had no idea the insurance aspect was so fucked up, that's so rough. Thank you for sharing that!
