Only you can make all that angst entertaining. And so real I felt I was on that couch with you, drowning in those god-awful "hoarded" memories. Thanks for being so open and real. It helps the rest of us.

Richard, you tell the story with both openness and modesty (the closest word I can think of for "pudeur"). Makes me wish I had "done the work."

Thanks, Olivier. I would say my work is maybe 1/4 done!

When my therapist asked if I would join her in the kitchen while she made chicken soup for lunch guests coming after my session, I considered myself "cooked and done"! We could all probably trade some intriguing couch stories...thanks for sharing!
