| Oct 15, 2017 at 21:52 | comment | added | M.V. | @EnglishStudent I am based in Germany, where health insurance covers therapy if a licensed therapist finds you in need of one, i.e. if disorders you have have "illness value", to translate it literally. What exactly that means, I will try to find out | |

| Oct 15, 2017 at 18:52 | comment | added | English Student | If you are well enough to say 'ill enough' then you are probably not ill enough to claim mental health insurance for therapy, a friend routinely dealing with such claims once said (paraphrase) -- but insurance policy may differ in your jurisdiction @M.V. | |

| Oct 15, 2017 at 16:55 | comment | added | M.V. | Thank you for the suggestion, that is indeed an interesting angle. We've experimented with being "conditionally open", by having sexual encounters with other people, but that's not the same. Is there any reading you would recommend? As for seeing a therapist, I'm currently trying to find out whether I'm "ill enough" to be eligible to have therapy covered by insurance, but I will pursue that | |
