That's a very personal question that may not elicite many responses. Along the same lines, I wonder how many of us are in the physical or mental health field? I've been in therapy for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder for about five years, and I'm almost through. I guess 3 yrs stress + 3 yrs denial = 6 yrs therapy. Over the past 20 years or so I've hade experience with about 6 psychologists, psychiatrists, and clinical social workers, some good, some bad, some in between. I believe this has given me good insight for writing on this site. I don't always agree with Dr. Balis methods, but I guess he probably sees himself as an innovator, always ready to try something else. Hey, whatever works!
