Busybusy, I kid my family that this has been my year of being stupid, so I don't feel very smart these days. But, thanks for the thought.

Abby, I have found that that psychologists tend to be less "clinical" and that those in private practice seem to be less "rigid." I went to an HMO psychologist once and she was actually a bit of a bully! She put me down for saying the word "should" and thought it meant I beat up on myself. Well, as a daughter of an English teacher, I like to use a lot of words. Should is an appropriate word sometimes, as in "I should not have seen that neurologist."

Try to get a referral from someone. Maybe someone knows someone. Do you have any local disease resource nonprofit? Sometimes they know good people.
