I got in to see a new psychiatrist today. And she is AWESOME! I am thrilled and I am more relaxed already. She is very spiritually minded, trained in Eastern medicine, Reiki, and uses the book Energy Medicine by Donna Eden to educate her patients. She's a member of the Association of Comprehensive Energy Psychology as well as holding her doctorate in counseling psychology, a master's in nutrition and a bachelor's in education. I'm especially listing this for your information, Liv, because I know as a doctor, you'll appreciate her broad scope of education, knowledge and technique. She taught me a couple of very simple accupressure techniques to help with my current stressors and my blood pressure, seems to want to take an aggressive approach to helping me work through my issues, including the physical ones, and she BELLYDANCES! So she's referred me to an instructor already, and I'm going to look into lessons for me and Scarlett together. I KNOW Dr. G was a wise choice. I can't wait to get further into all this information she's given me.

I'm on my way out the door, and this afternoon is going to be a great day. What a change from this morning, when I was unable to stop the waves of tears that seemed to constantly well up inside. I'm still thinking the same thoughts, but they don't hurt quite as much. I know this is an emotional upswing based on the whole 'new doctor' thing, but it feels really good to have her in my corner.
