Then the day comes where you're finally feeling ready so you look around, you find a few people, you draft the email (and edit it a thousand times because you're worried it doesn't sound right), you send it, then…. Nothing. Radio silence. You spent all that time working up

What to Look for in a Chronic Pain-Affirming Therapist
Finding a good therapist is hard. Finding a good therapist when you live with chronic pain is harder.
