@BirdDancer: Your new avatar is LOVELY! I meant to ask you the first time i saw if if it was YOU. What a terrific memento! Sorry to hear about the transference + possible counter-transference with your former therapist. Sometimes the littlest things can be triggering, as i myself experienced on September 27th, the day of my "acute fear reaction." Think you've done the right thing by moving on to a new therapist. I find it nice to get concern tho, even if it's from someone i have trouble dealing with. They mean well, their heart is in the right place, it's just that i can't connect with them for my own well-being.

Thanks for the reminder about the time-change! I had completely forgotten!

Be well my friend!
