Dear blkhwkdwn1:

Good, hope you keep posting here again and again. It sounds like a beautiful day you spent with her. In response to the latter part of your last post: your feelings do matter and please do express them here.

You mentioned counseling- will it be your first? How will you be looking for a counselor/ therapist? I have information on how to evaluate a potential therapist before hiring him or her and what to expect from a competent therapist. Let me know if you need such input. (would like you to have a competent, empathetic, effective therapist, and not all therapists are such).
