Guess who!  Anyone have a therapist/psychologist/psychiatrist they love/recommend?Guess who! Anyone have a therapist/psychologist/psychiatrist they love/recommend? Looking for someone that isn't quick to write a script, my primary care doc, who I love, just got me off Zoloft. I'm looking into more of healing the, "who hurt me" in my past and not just medicate my feelings. NOT THAT ITS WRONG! I'm not a judgey judgerton, so whatever works for you is cool. Trying to see if I can work through some stuff from my past and I need the help of the professionals. I'm switching between who is covered under our insurance and Google for reviews and I'm honestly going cross-eyed. I'm asking here, because all my normal FB friends, they live in the city and what nots. Would prefer to stay within a 10 mile range, but if totally life changing, I'd travel a distance. I tried therapy in and out, a few years ago, paying out of pocket. While yes, she was nice, she was like a cheerleader. I'm not looking for any more ra-ra's in my life, I'm looking for someone that can help me navigate through life and trauma of my past. Heal the wounds, for years I've thought I've healed on my own, but in my best Maury Povich voice, "that was a lie! " I keep feeling like I'm getting anxious and I'm going to pop soon. I don't want to pop. So the moral of my on and on is does anyone have a therapist they could sing their praises of, until they're blue in the face? I would accept a DM as an answer as well, if you rather not talk about it on here. You're all great! Thank you for all your pearls and suggestions. Ps: I just de-molded my washing machine and working on defunking my workout clothes. X's and O's to you all!

Be sure they have experience and specialize in trauma, otherwise it's nothing but cheerleading. Not only that but some can make it seem like the trauma was somehow your fault been there done that. Good luck to you, I hope you are able to heal ❤️
