When I was in the thick of things, I would sometimes walk out of t's office feeling far worse than when I walked in. Sometimes I couldn't function, left in total darkness, and felt dead or frozen inside for several days. I don't know if that's how I felt as a child during the trauma years. Can't remember.

Sometimes I'd come out of t's office feeling good just the same. Same thing happens now just on less severe levels. Therapy has always been a crap shoot for me -- never know when I walk in how I'm gonna walk out.
