shellie,
I had a nice long response and mistakenly lost it, just as I parted company with my previous and better therapist because of carelessness, mostly on my own behalf. He was much better than the current one.
I've done a previous Mind Body group, some time back, through a local alternative research facility associated with our main hospital and it was pretty good, as it had a multi-faceted approach to issues in and out of the group. Great place to practice empathy, intimacy and vunerability with folks suffering from some pretty serious health challanges of many sorts. The quality of facilitation and caring made all the difference, which is why I'm doing some more limited follow-up there.
Quality of mental health resources varies here from city region to region and across the county. I'm looking for a multi-modal approach which is what Richard O'Connor seems to recommend in his book "Active Treatment of Depression" - see above.
Waiting to hear further from a nearby jurisdiction which is well rated nationally and allows for both individual and group therapy with therapists from a variety of backgrounds. Time will tell...
Thanks for your thoughful response and those of the rest above, as well...
Sante!
