I went 30 days (max. allowed to go before case is closed) without seeing a therapist to see if I could handle it because that is what it felt like it was going to be with the upcoming switch to a new one until we build trust and rapport. Surprisingly, I did quite well with the 30 days-for the most part. This was testing to see if I could handle it when nobody was there for me to pick me up when I fall, which it sometimes felt like anyway with a therapist-okay, a huge majority of the time (sorry to say). A part of me is grateful of that in a sense, even though it was and still is beyond challenging. The true power lies within the individual (client). Perhaps that is a therapeutic method used not to let the client rely on the therapist that much, but honestly, sometimes that was not beneficial to the client. There has to be a balance and that balance was a bit extreme. Then I saw the new therapist for 2 sessions (for two weeks). Now, I do not have another appointment for 2 weeks. I can honestly say that I do not think I am going to miss it. How do I know if it is because a) I have not made a strong connection with the therapist yet or b) I am over therapy. Maybe it is both a and b. Where do I draw the line; what factor will help me determine which is stronger? Then again, I do not think the new therapist fits with my style, based upon previous experiences (9). How long do I wait to give this more of a chance? Should I be bored during therapy, which I am with this new lady? I know I should challenge myself and have been, but isn't it a two way street of both the therapist and client working together? By the way, a response it not needed, but it is just food for thought. Insight is welcomed. Thank you. How do I know when to end therapy?

My wife suffers from pesticide contamination illness which truly effects our relationship. Is there a therapist who is familiar with pesticide contamination as well as therapy? Simply saying that she has OCD will not help. Please help. We live in Santa Monica, California. Thank you, Earl Fisher Is it possible to talk to Dr. Kelly?

I make it my life's work to help others in any way I can. It's not all about money. It's about the human heart, mind, spirit and soul and truly making a difference. I'm sorry that you have had such bad experiences. I hope that you will not give up and keep searching for someone to help you with your anxiety issues. Anxiety is certainly treatable; however, you do have to work with someone that is right for you. If you have any other questions, please write to me. All my best, Dr. KC www.DOCintheBiz.com www.GLCzone.om Dear Zachary,

They didn't care about me at all and only about me paying my bill. I have been suffering with some terrible anxiety and this only made things worse. There is so much more to me than my wallet and I don't feel as though anyone really cares. Thank you for writing this article. I'm glad that I found it. You seem to truly care for people and share so unselfishly with us. I have read almost all of your articles, but this is the first time I really just had to come out of my shell and comment. Thank you for all you do. Zachary P. Dear Dr. KC,

What I have shared in this article is the way that I have found the best success in finding just about any kind of doctor. After using this way to find a therapist, many have shared that they have found success in finding someone great for them. They were thankful that they didn't waste time and money meeting several therapists for the first time without knowing anything about them, only to find out that there wasn't that right fit. All my best to you, Dr. KC www.DOCintheBiz.com www.GLCzone.com Dear Ed,
