Just wanted to weigh in on the counseling issue. If you are looking at a solution based therapist, ask if they are familiar with DB and DR in the phone interview. I ended up going to two who said they were SBT, but were not familiar with the books. Hunh? The second one actually borrowed my copy.
Also, I feel you on the casual friends thing. It feels often like some weird dance...like those awkward hug approaches when you're trying to figure out which way to lean.
