Can you see this as a therapeutic opportunity? This is a chance to see if you, with your therapist's help, can make this class a healthy experience for you. You have some control over whether you fall back into your old patterns or not. If you don't like your old patterns, then try to figure out how to break them and establish new ones.
By the way, what is it that makes you say that you would have to drop a therapy session if you go back to school? For me, having solid therapy is absolutely necessary when I try something new.
I'm sorry it took me so long to get to the end of this thread. And things are up in the air for me right now. Maybe I'll go back to Computer Science (but I'd still need to take a couple of classes to get "current").
I think that starting out in a subject and teaching methodology that you would like is more important than ease or difficulty. My Psych 101 class (25 years ago...) was probably no more than 20 people in a small room. And this was at a huge university. At least that's what I remember... I don't think there was a lecture associated with it. But with some big lecture classes, they have small group classes, too.
Sorry, having trouble focussing tonight........
