> I told the group that it was pure Pavlovian conditioning: I walk into my T's therapy room, and the tears start...

> And at least I got there! I know that was an accomplishment for me.I cry at least once during each session with my T (you know I'm a Leaker, anyway) but it always distressed me that it's so easy for me to weep in public. I mean, have you ever seen someone crying while they are grocery shopping? What would you do if you saw someone doing that? I can't say that I've ever witnessed it, apart from babies and toddlers... hmmm.
On the other hand, I've met some lovely parking lot attendents this way.Heartfelt handshake to you, Racer
