Thanks, karebear....I am right there with you about having a difficult time even admitting this to myself, let alone sharing it with others.

The type of therapy that I go to is a bit unique, I think. It's gestalt based, so it's very much about sharing feelings...content is less important. However, a lot of what we feel is sometimes tied to something else from the past or present, and it's important to recognize that when relating to others.
