Yes, previous therapy related to abuse issues made me feel terrible, but I have been out for a long while and had forgotten that part. And my last T, as I said, took time every session to lighten it up enough that there wasn't any hangover when I left.

I am going because I have absolutely no support system in this town -- I moved 250 miles away from mine. I'm having a horrible time adjusting to where I live now, which is a very small town -- I came from a big city and the culture shock is immense. There are things I need to work on that seem to be a perpetual need. I just meant that I don't have any problems that seem that pressing to me, compared to what people usually go to therapy for -- I've been there, done that, and gotten the Tshirt.
