OK, I voted other, because Liz isn't a traditionally trained counsellor! She's a Master Practitioner in NLP (neurolinguistic programming), has various other interesting coping mechanisms, including training with a Native American Shaman, and she has been through similar trauma to what I have been. She has 10 years' experience of helping others find the way she's found through the depression, anxiety and less useful coping mechanisms.

It doesn't work with everyone, but to me she's amazing! We clicked straight away, and her method is working! I feel so much better, i'm having good days in clumps, with some bad days, rather than bad days with occasional good ones!

:o)

Hugs,

Chris

Still looking for partcipants! How about you newbies? Vote in our poll. It's totally anonymous & gives everyone on the board ideas on what type of therapist they might search for. TIA jan

I am currently seeing a LSW, but the best counselor I ever had was a Christian therapist with certification in drug & alcohol. I was assigned to her because everyone else was booked. We just clicked. She used the 12 Steps to help me with my anxiety/panic. LOL jan
