First, (((kasva))) you are not a loser. I think it was wrong of your T to tell you that you can't process without taking a shower. Desensitization is usually a slow process. Can she help you with desensitizing yourself to taking a shower before you process the memories?

I'm here for you if you need anything. Just ask.
