Thanks Talulah,
It's funny - the age thing is something that I've thought a lot about. I really don't think I'd be comfortable with someone my age or younger. I live in a small-ish city and work at a hospital where a lot of therapists either work or were trained at. With my luck I'd run into her at a party or something.

Anxiety is an issue for me too, and lately, cutting has become a problem again. The idea of talking about that stuff makes me feel a little sick. It's hard for me even to imagine myself saying it aloud.

Anyway - sorry to ramble. It sounds like you found someone good to work with. Maybe I'll work up the nerve soon. Thanks again!
