Dear Robinor,
I cannot begin to tell you how many
psychotherapists I have been to. I have
had such a bad case of refractory depression
that psychotherapy has been good for
cathartic purposes and has helped me to
stay alive. I think the therapist that I
am seeing now wants me to be less hard on
myself; she thinks that I am such a wonderful
person with such a gentle soul. She wants
me to see what I wonderful person that I am
and that once I do, I will stop being
clinically depressed. Maybe she has a point
there; I do not know at this point. She
really is coming from a very loving place.
Thank you for your response,
Glenn
