I don't think of therapy as something that will change who I am. I think of it more as something that can help me become the person I was meant to be, and in the process of becoming who I was meant to be, I need to learn more about who I am so that I can make lasting changes in my behavior.

Conversation with my therapist:
Doc: "You know, for the past few weeks you've seemed very disconnected from your emotions when you're here."
Me: "I'm not disconnected from my emotions. I just don't feel anything when I'm here."
(Pause)
Me: "Doc, why are you banging your head against the arm of your chair?"
Doc: "Because I'm not close enough to a wall."
It's official. I can even make therapists crazy.
