Hello,
Does anyone know of any good therapists in the Portland, OR area? I keep trying to call my (seperated) spouse's psychiatrist for a referral (which he suggested to me when I went in for an appointment) but I cannot bring myself to dial the last number...I keep trying to dial and then hanging up. I have really mixed feelings about going at all and I feel a little paralyzed. Is it a conflict of interest for that psychiatrist to see both of us? When I went there he said he did not reccommend couples counseling because it seemed like I wasn't motivated to save the marriage. I don't know what to do and I don't know how I got myself into this mess at age 24. I'm becoming increasingly anxious about everything in general and totally irritated with the seperated spouse. For some reason the word "husband" "marriage" "wife" and several other words make me sick to my stomach to even say. His birthday is tomorrow and I'm pretty much his sole source of support. We are still "dating" but not living together. This whole situation is really making my skin crawl.
Anyway, it seems like perhaps I should consider seeing someone but I keep looking on the internet and can't find anyone that I think I can trust. I also will not see a female therapist, only a male. Any ideas? I feel totally stuck and extremely anxious. Thanks
