Thanks for the article, it was a very interesting read. I'm always curious about the therapist's perspective on things.

I remember one time when my therapist told me that he was afraid of anything that I had to say, that he could handle it. No matter how awful, or dirty or shameful - he would be there with me.

I remember thinking "he must be superman or something".

Now, I know he's not superman, but the willingness of a human being to stand by me while I dealt with all the crap definately internalized.

In 20 years, I will still carry that, and a whole lot of other amazing stuff with me.
