How do you select a therapist that would be helpful or pick one?
The company I work for has an EAP. I received a list of referrals from them and began to ask each therapist questions I thought relevant to my situation. At the time I was attempting to find a solutions based MC. I lucked out in that the MC recommended the therapist I eventually used after a few sessions with W.
As difficult as it was I needed to let a few people know as the situation would eventually affect them. They all did not find out at the same time. I chose to speak about it to the people before they were affected so they would know why I was distant or having difficulty. My immediate supervisor and HR were among the first as I needed a few days to sort out personal aspects and would not be on the job. W had already informed most of the immediate family prior to the bomb so I was spared that.
I needed a support group outside of this board. I needed people I could rely upon to be at the other end of the phone. I needed people to hug me and be there to receive a hug. ((())) though heartfelt do not substitute the real thing.
