It was nice that TLC paid for the therapy to continue after the show finished. There were ups and downs to doing the show. The T was very kind and somewhat helpful. I have a jacket that my stepdad gave to me for Christmas when I was in 6th grade. It is clearly too small to ever wear again but I am unable to let it go because he picked it out for me and he died when I was 20 y/o and it is special. The T asked if I could take a picture of the jacket to remember it and would I then be able to let it go. I still have the jacket but I sometimes think about doing that but I'd like to know that whoever gets the jacket will treat it well, you know?
I really liked the producer that was on site and I (and everyone else on the film crew) disliked the assistant producer. The asst was a b----. But just the experience of filming was very interesting. I learned so much about lighting and sound. They placed blue filters over my incandescent lights, little things like that I never knew went on during filming and how many takes you had to do to get something right. "Now enter the room again and ...." Several of the people on the film crew said my son had a really good voice and should look for an opportunity to do voice overs. That would be cool.
