Hi,

I had a million years (o.k. maybe only eight years) with a tdoc who started out as a cognitive behavioral therapist. Then I had a close friend who trained in cognitive therapy and practiced it. I learned a lot from both of them.

I solve the decision making problem by limiting my options. For example, I shop at a very small grocery store.

I think I have a different issue than the one you describe. I worry about the time making decisions. I think if I spend more than ten seconds than necessary on buying something, I will cause a crack in the earth or something.
. . . so that is not good exactly. .. .it just is.

Alos, very very often, when I pick up something at a store, I trust myself to believe that my first impulse is correct and move on to the next thing . . . . Mostly and Most Importantly, because I feel vulnerable when I am making decisions. I want to get home with my stuff and be done with the hard (AND IT IS HARD) choices.

Regarding hair, I trust my hairdresser. 90% of the time I let him do what he wants. He gets it about 85% right and that is fine. Hair grows anyway.
