Long? Yowsa! I'm very impressed! Thank you for all that!

Glad to meet another fan of therapy, and another recovered depression patient. Not that I don't smack into the wall...but I know it's surmountable now.

Goats...ah...remembering you now! Did I tell you I think I was a goat herder in Peru in another life? :-) There goes the cash register on my therapy bill again!

You made me remember...I forgot that I went to a T at my college in the 70's. I wanted to talk about the fact that my mother had died, he wanted to talk about my religion? Guessing that was his thesis topic.

Crossing over contact with your T between therapy and your personal life must be really odd. I find it quite strange to run into my T pushing a grocery cart. I really wanna see what he's buying...but figure his cart contents is a boundary crossing issue so I find myself staring intently in his eyes as he says hello so he knows I'm being respectful! of his groceries??? :-)

So, you stopped therapy not because you didn't need it, but because of the issues with your husband and therapist knowing each other. How did that termination process happen. I would imagine that was very difficult. Do you not want to be in therapy at all now?

So, when you finish school you will go into counseling? Does your program require you to get counseling?

(I am now wishing all these conversations were separate threads. I'm too old to keep track of this stuff!)

Thank you for all the time you spent answering!
