Robin Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 First time here. About 4yrs ago in therapy with a great therapist. He moved and never found another one. Treated for MPD. Well I have hit bottom due to gambling issues. Wanted help. Went to this therapist which I wanted help for inside. Anyway seen him twice. Bad time right now in life. Called him yesterday at 9 and I had to call him back in pm. He just does not seem to get how much pain I am in. Not sure if he is even right for me. What would be the right questions to ask? Thanks for any info. Also the trust issue comes in. When I am dealing with stuff at times I can feel like my world is coming to an end and inside gets confused and want to talk.

yes Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 One idea - most cities have a free "distress line" - it's just a bunch of volunteers, who will talk to you on the phone about your problems. They're not therapists, but if you just need someone to talk to, it's a good start. good luck, -yes Link to post Share on other sites
Abraucht Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 Gamblers Annoymous would be a great idea. It is a 12 step program and if you stay open to it it can change your life. Here is their website http://www.gamblersanonymous.org/ You can choose what state and find a meeting - This is where you can talk to people that completly now what you are talking about because they have been there and they will be happy to listen Link to post Share on other sites

Abraucht Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 No problem I am in NA myself - It has saved my life - Drugs are not a fun thing to be addicted to either, but with NA I haven't used a drug in almost 2 years and have completly changed the person I was for the better.
