I have an appointment scheduled with a new therapist a couple weeks from now.
When I asked about shoes she said this is a regular office building people wear shoes :)
Her professional bio looks promising
"has focused most of her clinical work in the following areas: trauma, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, pregnancy loss, physical and sexual abuse, and relationships. Her therapeutic approach is based on the client’s needs and strengths. She uses traditional talk therapy, including cognitive-behavioral, family systems, and solution-focused brief therapy. She is also trained in EMDR, an effective approach to treating emotional difficulties resulting from difficult life experiences, including symptoms from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder."
I'm feeling hopeful.
On a side note, my husband got diagnosed with Shingles yesterday so any prayers for him would be greatly appreciated. He said his pain is a 7 or 8 on a scale of 1 to 10 (with 10 being the pain he felt after his wisdom teeth came out and experienced dry sockets).

Prayers for your husband that his shingles go away soon and he feels better.
You are an amazing woman.

I hope your husband's Shingles will be deafeated very soon.
How are the shingles?
oregonrobin -- The appointment is schedule for next week so I have not met her yet. As far as the shingles are going, he was put on an antiviral fairly early so it hasn't spread too much, which is good and the rash is healing a bit but there is still pain. It's been about a week since he was diagnosed so hopefully in another week he'll be pain free.
i do hope it goes well for you.
