Met with a new therapist today. It went great and I'm feeling optimistic, but damn if it isn't a little unnerving to have to delve into The Backstory all over again.
It's like going on a hike and briefly passing a crevasse, glancing into the abyss long enough to mumble "oh no that's deep and dark and something's growling at me" before hurrying back to the nice sunny trail. 😅
