I am currently seeing a therapist (dating a therapist).  She is getting her masters in cognitive behavioral psychology and has worked in the field in New Mexico and soon Maui.  I love throwing out scenarios/patterns and having her give me the inside scoop.  Her suggestion on dating - guys will love this - is to date multiple people at once so as not to get attached right away which is unhealthy.  This is not to suggest being a player.  She is all about honesty and trust and says trust is established right away and if there is lack of trust the relationship will never work.  To date multiple people she says you must be honest and open about your stance and once you begin sleeping with someone then that is a commitment.  Unless, the person you are sleeping with is cool with you dating other people.  Once you find one that you like you let the others go away and will now have a healthy relationship that is based on honesty and not co-dependency.

Medical crisis?

Damn straight.

In addition, my relationship with my doctor is long-standing, and as much that as friend as doctor-patient. I have sought his advice on some other matters from time to time.

If it's a health crisis, um, duh.  During a bad breakup once I saw a shrink for a while; I'd do it again.  If you get a good one, it's helpful.

Not since one of em told me I was schizo, which I am not. Yes you are. Am not...

Well, that would probably depend on the crisis.  If I were unfortunate enough to have a life-threatening illness, I guess I WOULD have to turn to him/her in a time of that kind of crisis!  Maybe not for spiritual guidance, but for treatment!

You turn to medical means when you are helpless and hopeless - I'm not that person. I am perhaps one of the most hopeful people you will ever meet.
