Has anyone besides myself tried phone counselling agencies?
Over the last 4 years, I've worked out methods of maximizing
my use of these.

As ell, soon after my release from hospital, I used
"co-counselling".  Anyone else tried this?   Then there are
several forms of Diary Therapy, but I've used just the two.

I'm glad to see that yo have other resources other than this
conference.  In my case, my disability means that I cannot
handle any face-to-face contact at all just phone work
(modem or voice).
