This is where my man R. W. Emerson comes in.  I prescribe a hearty dose of 
self-reliance.  On the journey of self-discovery, I don't think you need 
some kibitzer with a medical degree charging $100/hour to show the way.  In 
fact, I think such practice is self-defeating because it causes you to doubt 
your own judgment and encourages protracted dependence on the aforesaid MD.
