For years I wanted to know more about T. It seems so unnatural to be intimate with someone you know nothing about. Also, why is she holding out on me? I hate unanswered questions and not knowing.

I know her name, her address, her age, her pre-psych career, what triggered HER therapy, her husband's name and occupation, how many children she has and a couple of anecdotes. That's all after eight years. And she wouldn't have told me anything about her husband if I hadn't already guessed.

But in a good session, when our souls touch, the world outside just doesn't matter.
