Well, I think I can answer that part. I think it's two reasons.
One reason is the nature of my therapist. If I might be a bit cynical, while still saying this about him with the most enormous affection, he has a fondness for psychobabble silliness. Which explains the affirmations. He's also verrry appearance conscious. You can tell by his clothes and his office and his car. He's very shiny. He leaps at every chance I give him to discuss my grooming, which falls far short of his standards.
But he to his credit it was me who said that I was uncomfortable. He was responding (a bit too eagerly to my taste) to my expressed discomfort.
I still haven't quite figured out what to do on this half of the homework assignment. It may take me weeks of scouting out what other people look like, and maybe a bit of shopping to come to a conclusion.
Besides. I can't stand to have any part of my hair touch my skin during the summer. And school is almost over. I have a while.
