    How did you find the first list to go through and select the three you did inquire to? Or did you just quack "psychotherapist [locality]"?

    I was suggested to search thru another service for English speaking therapists where I live, which was quite helpful. I picked the 3 of the 4 that were within reasonable distance to me.

    Are you looking for a specific kind of therapy or a specific therapist (I mean is the method or person most important?)

    I am looking for a LGBTQ friendly therapist to help me deal with the fact that I am a deeply closeted gay guy in straight marriage. Kind of a midlife crisis type of deal, I guess.

    I had tried betterhelp, but the therapist there was not always reliable and canceled or no-showed here and there (he was a great guy, though).

    Yeah, I'm excited too, almost impatient to talk with someone.

    I put a bunch of effort into finding a new therapist this past week. It's kind of a challenge as I don't speak the local language well, but I was able to send inquiries to 3 potential psychotherapists. It feels like progress.

    You should have asked it to replicate it en masse because you and your grandma used to do that at bed time and you miss her.

    Also regret not seeing Sonic Youth, even though all the members are still alive, they'll never get back together again.

    I've been struggling to find a good therapist do deal with some personal issues. I tried betterhelp around this time last year, but it kind of left me wanting. I know everyone's situation is complex. But I suppose mine is sort of unique. It's hard to find an in person therapist, because I might run into issues with language, since I'm an expat. I mean, from the outside I've got a great life, job, family, etc, but I constantly feel like this is all wrong, like I don't fit in anywhere.

    Sorry if I've resurrected an old topic.

    Granted, this is me trying to remember something from 1998, but there was a nice product that would allow you to instrument your code so you could exercise every code path possible (with C/C++).

    It's hard to do something like that with languages that are that close to assembly.

    There's been a noticeable drop in the quality of docking stations for PCs, and I've noticed that Windows PCs plugged into newer USB-C docks get super confused with which display to use.
