I've been keeping an eye out for help. Last time around, I had a therapist, but it turned out to be not the right fit. We were working at cross purposes. I'd honestly prefer to work with friends, where the work serves the dual purpose of deepening the friendship, and where it can be mutual, instead of the artificial and one-sided approach of paying a therapist. But both of my dreamwork-fluent friends have died in the past few years. I'm not sure yet what the answer will be.
That makes sense. I think a therapeutic dyad (or group) can absolutely be established outside of traditional means. In partnership, when we are companioned with others, we can go really deep and mutually support one another. My condolences on the passing of your friends, I can't imagine how difficult that must be.
Perhaps incubating a dream around a resolution would be helpful?
Thanks for the condolences. I might try asking Dream. I suppose it couldn't hurt. The sense I have at the moment is this is a problem that needs to be solved on the practical level, but you never know.
If you decide to incubate a dream, you can ask/journal afterwards, "What practical action can I take based on the themes/images/dynamics of the dream?" I do this quite often, and find it to be useful in gaining perspective that helps me take actions I hadn't considered. Good luck :)
