Oh, Rigby, that's kind of depressing. Reinforces my idea that I'm slow. But I guess everyone has their own timetable so it's stupid for me to think like that.I started therapy because I was in a bad relationship. But I also suffered from depression and anxiety. Now I'm all better and I just go to therapy because it's the highlight of my life.
p.s. i'm totally freaking out that i accidentally signed my name to an earlier post.

We didn't talk all that directly about attraction--it came up in the dreams I wrote down, in me trying to quit (I couldn't, I was too attached,) etc. I talked about it by saying that a male therapist might be easier and less complicated and she knew what I meant (she disagreed, by the way, said I'd have issues with a male therapist too and that her being female might actually make the therapy richer for me.) But we discussed it indirectly but, very directly too in a sense if you get the picture.

> Three times/week is quite intense. May I ask why you're in therapy? I started because I became very depressed--waves of depression triggered by re-connecting with a woman from the past whom I'd been in love with for many years.
