My great aunt, rest her soul, lived to be 98. When me and the kids would visit her near the end of her life, she would insist we go to the CF. She would get the same thing every time, take a few bites, have it wrapped to go and have free food (I… [more]

If you can't be yourself with your therapist then your ability to make progress with them is severely hindered. I would look for a new therapist. If you can't find one that suits you better, then restart with this one. [more]
