How to find a good psychologist

I have to agree with the ladies, it sounds like the Psychologist just didn't help at all or you felt no rapport with. I have a Psychologist who doesn't deal with Cancer Patients, but I'd seen her a few years before my diagnosis. She is amazing and it helped me in ways nobody else could. I particularly needed her when I was facing my Mastectomy as I really struggled with it. Though psychologically struggled badly through treatment I knew it was just a process. There are down days now nearly 2yrs on in recovery dealing with all the side effects. Your life is compromised in quality, so I think we try so hard to readjust to a different version of our lives and ourselves. Its damn hard!!!! physically and mentally. Ive learnt to not beat myself up anymore. I put me above everything and put less pressure on myself, just stepping back a bit has helped very much. So I'd try someone different to be honest.
