[quote=Anonymous]I didn't expect anything at all when I tried therapy last December. I didn't want to spend much, so I went with whom Kaiser had on their list... which turned out to be ONE person, because none of the others were taking new patients. Online appointments only! I heavily doubted I would be happy with the one therapist "no one else wanted".

But as it turns out, it's been helpful. The guy has trouble finding his words sometimes, and isn't the brightest bulb, but he's evidently been trained to do his job, because I've already learned a lot about myself. I don't need a super intelligent person (my husband provides that), or a super empathetic person (my friends provide that), I need a brain who has been trained in CBT to look at my situation and offer unbiased insights and advice to help me manage my moderate to severe anxiety. It helps that I'm pretty self-aware to begin with, so the therapist is a guide, he's not the one doing the work. I'm doing the work.

Best of luck, OP. You're doing the work, and that work can start just by yourself.
