at some point in their lives, even if they think nothing's wrong. You learn so much about yourself.

I went to two different therapists. Hey, back at that time my insurance paid for it and if it kept me from strangling my boss, it was money well spent.

One therapist was kind of a jerk, but the second one was really good. I still remember things she said, and this is decades later.
