Brain Therapy for the daft!
It's actually a pretty good bit of advice, for things like getting a bad haircut, or someone cutting into a queueup or in traffic, or the refrigerator delivery guy being afraid of the snow and NOT delivering my new refrigerator as scheduled today. (SIGH.......)

Hooray for you Kirstin!!! You're so brave! I've needed counseling (despite being one!) for at least eight years, but for one reason after another have continually put it off (avoidance behavior can be strong, espeically when one sits on the other side!). Also, I kept telling myself that I KNOW what to do, I just don't do it. So - bravo to you for actually scheduling that first appointment. That's the hardest step (maybe....). But it's the most important step (possibly...). Well anyway, you know what I mean! You've done it, and have put the wheels in motion to learn a new way to think along with your new body. Good girl!!!
PS - Your comment about gassing out your new shrink reminded me of a time when I was in sixth grade. I had a piano teacher that I hated, so I doused myself with a ton of perfume (and you can imagine the sickly cheap crap a sixth grader had!). I hoped I would stink so bad she would cancel the lesson, but instead she complimented me on how nice I smelled! Curses!!!
