Hi Amoeba,
have you considered weekend retreats, sweatlodges, holistic healing weekends type of thing, rather than a survival course? You might then be surrounded and well supported by like minded people, quite possibly there for similar reasons to your own.
These often take place in beautiful isolated surroundings with people who really care.
Might be a lot more useful and pleasureable than someone with letters after their name telling you whats wrong with you and failing miserably
