Christina,

Sweetheart you are singing to the choir about how embarassing therapy can be! Especially telling about the home you grew up in. I've shared some TERRIBLY embarassing things in therapy that I have never shared elsewhere. But TRUST me, if you've found a good therapist, developing that trust and telling those embarassing things can be such a great experience. It isn't easy, mind you, but when you learn that you can tell all these things that you think make you horrible- and this therapist (who you hopefully really like) thinks you're still good, it's incredible and incredibly healing. It really is.

By the way, I know this is kind of a stupid thing to point out, but we're the exact same age. Most people here are older, and a few are still high-schoolers, so it's kinda cool to meet someone my own age here!

Angela
