I went in drunk once. Was in a very dark place at that point. I stayed composed through the session but could hear my own words slurring and admitted at the start that I was sloshed. The experience brought out the pain more starkly than ever and I could see she saw it, and at the end of the hour she told me with concern in her voice that she was very glad I was coming in to see her. I was touched. But I was embarrassed afterward, and swore not to do that again.
