I don't see the problem -- perhaps it's my naivete? For me, I experienced rejection, yes, BECAUSE I WAS REJECTED. And shamed and humiliated.

Yes, I can accept that it was the therapist's issues, not me. Finally. OK, I have some issues, but when I honestly tried to face and deal with them, and the therapist can't tolerate that -- wtf -- whose issue is that, really?

But it took me FOREVER (well, 55_+ years) to come to that.

And so, OK, I've got it now. But WHAT THE F>>K does that mean now, at 70 F. . G years old?
