This path can be very bumpy at times because there are some many variables. It is interesting that while our journeys are quite different, there is a core of very similar thoughts, experiences and reactions.
Regarding working with therapists, there are some folks doing sessions virtually. It’s not entirely the same, but it will get you most of the way there until better days. The Psychology Today magazine maintains a searchable database of therapists around the world. Typically they have submitted a brief description of their specialties and services.
