I think that I was writing of my surprise of all of the different topics that folks find verboten when speaking to their shrinks. My feeling, very early on is that shrinks were like priests in the confessional — nothing was going to surprise them, and my sins weren’t anything as great as I thought that they couldn’t be forgiven. I no longer confess my sins to a priest but rather to my shrink and she offers my an absolution of sorts.
I’ve confessed my ‘hardest topic’ but I ran with it and found a way to deal with it — with help. But it seems that some people have yet to speak to their shrinks about their hardest topic. For many it seems to be a love interest for their shrinks — and I’ve never felt anything like that.
