bending_sickleokay so my bro sent me a link to a bunch of english-language psychologists or therapists or whatthefuckevers here in rome because there is a) no way i’m expressing shit in italian b) no way i’m expressing shit in spanish (which is fucking sad but what can you do) and c) a slight chance i’m expressing shit in english. (i mean i am absolute crap at verbally expressing myself unless it’s like 3 a.m. and i’m peeved and sleep-deprived and then i’m waxing fucking poetical but basically i’m more a written-word kinda person but yeah.)
anyway i went through the list and narrowed it down a bit and then decided fuck it i’m only going with a lady because i have no idea why so now i have three lady people who can help me maybe and they’re all in like the other fucking side of the city which isn’t that bad but also means location isn’t really helping me decide how to narrow this shit further.
so i have three people i could maybe call (ahahahah!) or email (more likely i mean seriously avoid the phone like it’s the plague) and i don’t know how to narrow this shit down. how does one fucking pick a fucking therapist?!?
i mean there’s 1) an italian lady who speaks english and is a “psychologist-psychotherapist” who deals in “counselling, cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), metacognitive therapy for anxiety & mood disorders and addiction” which okay (except maybe for the metacognitive therapy shit which is a basically and crudely-put just “thinking it better makes it better” or so i gather but yeah whatever i do not have the brain right now to actually investigate this branch further)
then there’s 2) a slavic lady from i-have-no-idea-where but anyway she’s multilingual and deals with the international community which points for you and she’s a “clinical psychiatrist/psychotherapist” which good andis also licensed in cbt (jesus it’s popular) and trained at some program in the usa which i don’t know but i’m supposed to care?
and finally there’s 3) an american lady who is simply a “psychologist” and does “individual psychotherapy for all mental health issues” and is “experienced and licensed” which congratulations? but that’s all i know
so i think i’m leaning for the slavic lady?
but like basically it’s taken me a week to go from copypastaing their information into a document and then deciding fuck all the guys let’s go for the ladies and i’ve just now decided maybe the slavic lady so like at this rate i’ll be lucky if i contact them before february is out
basically though i’m just
with a dash of if i could chew through wood i fucking would helpless frustration
