Comment on Wondergirl's post
Well, the insurance has the copay of 25.00 not a problem. I still can't get them to pay without compromising my saneness. LOL. I am going to try one other place after I move. Strategy mode, as usual. Emotions in brick walls. LOL but not so funny.
Forget the insurance. I didn't accept the insurance. There was no copay. I accepted only $25 out of pocket.

Is there a university where you live? Check into their psych program. Many universities psych programs do counseling for little to no cost. The students do the counseling under the guidance of the professor.

Silly me! We did that as grad students (after we had counseled each other and then counseling undergrads -- finally, the professors allowed us out into the general public). We were strictly overseen by professionals, and the cost to the client was very low.
Very excellent suggestion, J.

Well, I will say it is a VERY complex situation with hmm, like a spider web with a glob of silly putty in the middle as far as the details go so I am closed to that. Not a triflling thing for an inexperienced analyst. I can handle 1 more time.
It has been very difficult for me to get out what I have already and to go through it more than once again finally would make the emotional paralysis I am in difficult to get out of.
And not silly putty... meant silly string. The stuff that does not come undone easily.
It is easier for me to identify an emotion via a symbol or metaphor as I am not able to identify some actual emotions or know what to do with them. It is a type of paralysis inside that causes really a problem in logic without symbolism.
The counseling I was getting was slowing acting like a medicine and a toolbox easing some paralysis slowly.

It sounds like you are making lots of excuses so you don't have to get the help you need. The student counseling might be your very best option simply because you will have TWO counselors working on your problems with you. And "years of therapy" doesn't mean that's the best way to do this. Silly string can be untangled a lot more quickly than you can imagine.

No actually I already contacted the agency I will have counseling with, but will take one week or a little longer for me to move up there. So I will use that resource. Just trying to keep events in background until then, That is the difficult part.
I do not want years of therapy and it won't take that. I have had "interupted" therapy. I need short term intense therapy. I can use the tools myself after that.

I DO believe they have some grad students doing the group therapy there. I am not sure about the individual. It is my understanding they are more in the hospitals like an internship and yes universities.

We grads interned (on a sliding scale, with the money going to the venue, not to us) in hospitals, area clinics, private practices, agencies, and so on, but before that, we also did counseling (at a greatly reduced cost) as part of the university setting through one of its offices.

I could easily walk into a hospital and just say admit me. I almost did but it didn't make sense to me. The univ is a good suggestion. I just am uncomfortable with more than 1 person and in my mind that would be like case study vs. I can't explain it.

You would meet with only one person during your (university counseling/internship) sessions. Your name would be coded or changed somehow (one of my clients was "Willow"; another was "Tetra"). All personal information/session notes would be unavailable to anyone but the student and his supervising psychologist. The filed information is also under the pseudonym, and each student's clients' info is in a locked file drawer available only to him and his super. The rules are extremely strict on this, and any violations of confidentiality are dealt with severely.
