Absolutely true!!! I just meant that he didn't need to meet them to see who I am. And certainly we talk about where I learned certain things. But it's more important for him to know how I am now than where I learned it (though he's getting both).

Not to sound disrespectful, but you make it sound as though a therapist can teach you a whole new way of living a life, bordering on perfection...

I do think he is teaching me a whole new way of living. Now, perfection would be really streeeeeeeetttttching it, but he's definitely teaching me how to interact with people in healthier ways. I already find that my relationships are improving.

I suppose it's all in what you want. This is what I'm looking for (learning to be closer to people), and therapy turned out to be the best way to get it.
