Im not following you.

In the first episode of Family Affair, you know with Uncle Bill and Buffy and Jody, Jody comes to Uncle Bill at night and says hes afraid to sleep alone in the dark. Uncle Bill finally comforts him. I was like, yeah, thats what i missed out on.

The description of therapy you quoted does a good job, i thought, of telling how therapy can fix it when we do miss out on that? But im not following where sex would come in.
