Thanks for your post, it was very helpful. As Chrissy stated, the employee assitance program is a free service offered by my employer administered by private company that specializes in a variety of work/life problem assistance. These programs are paid for by the employer and offered on top of insurance benifits. Because there is an appearent "pre-set" limit to the number of visits per problem,I like the idea of spacing out the visits. This will make the most of the service that is offered and to give me time for the information to sink in and begin to apply it.
