I sure did NOT expect to have sexual fantasies about my female therapist, I did NOT expect to have so much anxiety between sessions, I did NOT expect to think about her all the time, I did NOT think I would still be in therapy a year later, I did NOT think that I would fall in love with therapy yet hate it at the same time!

Whoever was going to write the booklet would have no way of knowing what any given client might experience in therapy. If they told me I was supposed to experience all that and I didn't, I'm sure I'd worry that I must not be doing it right.
