In yaku's recent thread, Monte said something that resonated so deeply for me that I just want to repeat it here:

<< And just as therapy distracts me from life, so can life distract me from therapy. They are two very different and separate worlds. >>

Boy, is that right. I can't believe how I can march through the everyday-ness of my life, carrying on as if; and in my T's office things are so very different -- *I* am so very different. I know I've always struggled with the unsettling (to put it mildly) dichotomy of the Inside Me and the Outside Me, and my task is to try to establish a bridge between the two. It so often seems like an impossiblity. But in Monte's sentence there is a ringing rightness, a truth, that is helping me. Thank you, Monte. I know we haven't officially met, but something tells me we already know each other. In fact, that's how I feel about any number of people here.

P.S. Congrats on that new one coming, yaku!
