I disagree with you slightly, Rhap. I think there are some good therapists who want to start changing behavior as quickly as possible and then use that as a way to start talking about what was causing the behavior. (I'm not saying that this therapist is like that, just that some are.) Do you really think weight is always a wall of protection? (I suspect that my weight is really just a side effect of my eating, which is the real problem.)

To bring it back to Debbie, though. Does this seem like something your therapist usually says or is this out of character for her?
