I remember the first time I met my pdoc. It was just an instant connection. "You're like me" or at least "you can get me." I felt kinda bad about lying to him that day, but I went to him to placate my parents after a suicide attempt (that I was not happy with surviving.)
I don't remember what I thought of my T the first time. I was 17 and just a mess emotionally. I wanted to feel better but I didn't want to reveal any "secrets" and I had a couple. The second time I met her though, she had sensed that the previous session I had been holding back (where do they get those superpowers anyway) and she got some of it out of me. It was, however, a great relief to get it out.

They presented him the words: "And this, too, shall pass away." How much it expresses! How chastening in the hour of pride! How consoling in the depths of affliction!
