Well, this is the first time I've had to switch to a new therapist mid-stream, so to speak. My previous therapist retired, and though she called me as recently as today, I know she wants to be retired and I had to call someone else, whom she suggested. So I did. And I see her tomorrow. She's actually a psychologist. I've never been to a psychologist, except to have my IQ tested when I was a little kid, by a psychologist who was a friend of my parents. So that wasn't really the same kind of thing.

I printed out my list of experiences from my diary, so that should help a lot in telling her my history. She seemed really nice on the phone, even commiserating with me on having to start with someone new, so that seemed like a good sign.

Anyways, guys, any well wishes and prayers would be very much appreciated. We have very slim pickins out here in the rural Midwest, and I really, really hope I can work with her. Even so, she's 40 miles away, though she's only going to charge me half her usual rate, given that I no longer have insurance.
