I second Pachy's *gulp!*.

I tried a technique very similiar to that in therapy when I first started. Saying it was rough is a pretty big understatement. But maybe I just wasn't ready then. It was the first time i was facing my past. 5 years later, it is worth considering. Perhaps I'll start in another year. But that is one piece of advice that I think will stick with me. In fact, I'm gonna save it in my file.
