Hi.
I've been in remission for just over two years, and now that I feel safe the feelings are coming out. I'd like to find a therapist to help me through them, but I don't know where to start. Luckily I have savings, so can go private rather than waiting two years or so. Just to complicate matters, I'm in Spain, and although I speak pretty good Spanish, it's easier to speak English particularly when I'm emotional.
I'm thinking of looking for an online therapist. Does anybody have any experience with online therapy? Does anybody have any advice on how to choose a therapist?
Thanks in advance for any help,
Sheila
