The Audio Series
I bought Dr. Richard's audio series back in December of last year and I've found them to be pretty helpful. I actually went all the way, and moved to Phoenix, AZ from my home state of Kentucky which is 1870 miles away from Phoenix and started attending "The Saturday Group" on Febuary 14th. (I know some of you guys might be thinking I'm crazy at this point ... lol) It was a huge step for me but I really wanted to get rid of my S.A. and meet other people that have S.A. But unfortunately, I was only able to get through 5 weeks of the 15 week program because it just got to be too stressful for me when everyone was asked to read, but that was not the only reason I dropped out. This Steve guy which is the practice manager kept telling me that my insurance company wouldn't pay for one of the sessions and that I was behind on my co-pays. So, it became quite clear that he was more concerned about my money than my health. It was also strange that he never contacted me when I stopped going to the group and when I finally contacted him, he pretty much started telling me about the money that I owed them right away. Not only that, he removed me from this Yahoo Club that all the group members used to keep in contact with each other and post upcoming group activities. There's was absolutely no reason for removing me from that Yahoo group. It wouldn't have hurt anything to let me stay in there.
I'm still living here in Phoenix and I still need treatment for my S.A. so, if anyone knows of a good therapist in Arizona that understands people with S.A.D. please let me know.
Thanks,
Brian
