There's always possibilities for acceptance, habituation, sleeping, and even better outcomes such as cures and recovery. The problem is getting your distressed brain to realize that. I would certainly love to do this myself, but it's just a game of hoping for the best. The feeling of powerlessness is incredibly debilitating on top of everything else.
I wish you the best with your therapy. I particularly hope you see an individual who is more interested in your care and well-being than they are taking your (or the insurance company's) money. It's something I am still considering, but I have yet to find anyone like that.
@Drachen, Thank you so much for responding. I'm hoping that therapy will help with my distressed, catastrophizing brain. I always "what if" myself to death.
Finding a mental health professional was difficult (most were not accepting new patients), and I gave up early on trying to find one with tinnitus experience. This individual at least ticks off a few of the other "experience boxes" I was looking for. Not sure about her integrity yet. I hope you find the health care professional(s) you are looking for.
