I've made a big step by deciding to seek out a therapist. But I'm nervous about finding the right one. Where do I look? How can I tell if it's a good Cognitive Behavioral therapist or some Freudian wacko?
Suggestions welcome!!!

I'm doing the same thing as we speak. What I did is call my insurance and get a small list of providers that are covered by my insurance. My fist appointment is tomorrow, so we will see. My suggestion is to first, ask around, ask friends, family, etc......that you trust and if there is no help there, then ask your pcp. Then if now help there either, just try one that is covered on your insurance, if you don't like them, try another. Hope this helps

Finding a therapist is like shopping for a new car. You will have to test drive a few until you find one that works for you. If you don't like their personality, style of treatment, fees, whatever, you have the right to go to another one. Do not give up. I would suggest the cognitive/behavioral route. That's just me though. Let us know how things turn out!

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
