I don't think it has to be a horror show in order to be effective. That's where the alliance really shows. I had a great T years ago, and although the sessions were not all sweetness and light, I trusted that I would come out of the dental chair without some hill billy gap toothed gummer thing.

These days, living in a rural area where mental health care is anybody's guess, I really really wonder.
