I created this forum because I thought it would be a good idea for members to post recommendations for therapists or other support groups. If you would rather not post it yourself, you can send me a PM (private message) and I will post it for you.

Hi Ginger, are you a survivor? If so, I would encourage you to post a little about your background in the Introduce Yourself forum. After we do a "background check," we will give you access to a whole array of hidden forums just for survivors. Anyway, thanks for your referral!

Anyone know of a good therapist in Seattle? I don't know anyone in Seattle myself, but someone at the Portland Mens Resource Center might be able to recommend a colleague up there. www.portlandmrc.com/index.html

I have finally found out why I have these issues with my mother. I'm the daughter. And why I have anxiety and overeating. I am now ready to seek help and am looking for a therapist for this in the bay area california. Particularily the east bay area. Any leads would be great.

I have a therapist here in the Denver, CO area but so far she seems a bit unwilling to take the plunge into all of this with me. I know there are a lot of psychiatrists in Denver who might understand this syndrome a bit better than my current psychotherapist, but I am a new mom with Medicaid who is taking time off of work while I raise two kids, so I can't afford much. Any groups or funded therapists in this area that someone knows of?

Hi, marshy. What exactly do you mean by her being a bit unwilling to take the plunge into all of this with you?

Well perhaps I've jumped in too early--we've only had a handful of sessions, but like other therapists I've had when I start to go deeper with my issues with my mom they recommend ways for me to manage her...like essentially saying I will need to continue acting as parent to find ways to get her to behave better by behaving in a model manner myself. That's oversimplifying of course. But it's not working for me, that kind of advice reinforces me feeling like I'm the responsible parent in the relationship and it's too much pressure to act with total poise all the time. When I've mentioned not having her in my life my current therapist skirts the issue by saying well you don't have to cut her out you can try a. b. c....I will have a session tomorrow and approach it again.

Am I going about it the wrong way in therapy? I've also mentioned to therapists that I've done reading and talked with therapists who I've worked professionally with (co-workers) about it a bit and that it seems she has BPD and other disorders. I have never broached the emotional incest topic because I just learned about it last week but there's no mistaking it in our relationship. I imagine that some of my therapists haven't wanted me to diagnose her which is why they avoided it some and also why I'd love to see someone specializing in emotional incest work and/or some of the disorders I highly suspect she has. She will never get help unless forced and will remain undiagnosed but there are some clear things going on.

Thanks. I found the board as I am trying hard with my therapist to open up. Am grateful that u have started this board as it is a place with so few places to turn to that recognizes what many shun n dismiss as simple not real or possible or be believable. The truth has left me alone and do mixed up.
