  • It can definitely be overwhelming. Sometimes the therapist was just the first one chosen after I got a referral from my doctor, another time I found the website of a local therapy private practice and found the therapists profiles on there and chose one, another time I made a list of potential therapists from psychology today (https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/therapists) and emailed all of them, and some times I got put in some mental health program and just had one assigned to me.

    The only advice I can give is just start seeing a therapist, don’t get discouraged if it doesn’t go great, just think about what they do that you like and what you dislike and try another one, maybe even starting off with a new therapist by discussing this.

    Over the years I’ve learned about a bunch of different types of therapy (CBT, ACT, DBT, psychosomatic, etc) and I know exactly what works best for me. It was a long and painful journey to get there though, best of luck.

    I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

    Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

    There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.
