I was advised that it would create a rapprochement--which she said in her best French--if I would stay in a hotel, rather than home, the next time I visited my parents in another city. That didn't work, I mean, REALLY didn't work, and the-time-Missbella-stayed-in-a-hotel-when-she-visited was thrown in my face forever after. However, the therapist carried her lalaland delusion that she repaired my problems with parents.

She also sent me for a beauty makeover, a new look to go with my new psyche. I'm here to testify and that quiet, bookish woman transforming to a quiet, bookish woman with an different haircut and eye shadow color doesn't change a whole lot. I don't recall all the make-up, but turquoise might be been involved.
