Before therapy I was pretty much a robot. Or Switzerland as my therapist called it. Incredibly neutral in all feeling and emotion. I just had none. Or didn't know how to access them. Once I made a connection with my therapist I have been able to.

I knew I'd like my therapist on day one because he understood computers and made a joke. I came to trust him in the fact that he appealed to my brain and logic and would show me science behind his theories.

Also we share a lot of the same political and religious views. Or at least he followed my lead and opened up when I started discussing them.

Why do I find that connection useful now? Cause I was sitting here last week thinking of ending my life and feeling utterly hopeless and remembering that he said it wasn't in his opinion. Our connection and my respect for his brain made me think logically about the situation as see that out of the two of us his opinion might be the more sane one at the moment.
