It is SO HARD HARD HARD to tell your story over and over--"they" don't seem to realize this.

It's a lottery: you need to find The One first time out. Two of my sons have excellent male therapists--both of wonder, surely. I'm so grateful they did! (One has to pay out of pocket, as he's a self-employed musician... one of the professions 5X more likely...)

My so-called therapist, however, was a joke. And I can't stand the thought of looking for another.

This is an excellent piece--thank you!
