Sorry to hear about your dog Cheshire Grin.... But good on you that you let him know how you felt, that is courageous.

He does seem a bit inconsistent in what he says... Anyway, if you do find the book useful, by all means return yours and borrow his. He could have suggested this in the first place, rather than inciting you to buy a copy?! And again, good job for being proactive re your plan to see your old psychiatrist / a different counselor. Best of luck to you!
