I do keep wondering if perhaps I'm the kind of person who would be better off concentrating on moving on. Processing in other ways, as and when, like with conversations with friends etc, rather than in structured talking with a therapist.
The thing is, I'm pretty sure there are other things - from long, long before I met my crazy therapist - that I would like to discuss in therapy. Except I feel there's a big layer of **** and stuff from my time with her getting in the way.
