Dear PWS, Thank you for your wonderful story. I thnk that I see a few things worthy of mention. You say that when you went to n intensive program years agao, you were not ready for dealing with some of the emotions. Was that really true, or was it that your clinician was not ready to deal with your emotions? I think this is a common problem. Many clinicians are tied to one specific philosophy and all clients recieve a giant dose of that philosophy. I think that the therapy should meet YOUR needs. That being said, your needs may be different and different times in your life. You don't need marriage counseling when you're not married; you don't need physical therapy if you're not physically impacted......but you may need physical therapy some time in your life. Therefore, the answer to your question is partially based on what YOU need today and what YOU are willing to do to accomplish that goal. You also need a clinician that is skilled in many aspects of treatment that is willing to partner with you. Working with taht clinician is the best way to figure out what to do and to get an estimate of teh time involved. Thanks for the question, and please, keep getting the support from other PWS that you need. John Tetnowski
