:-) I know what you're talking about. And it really is magical.. how a really good therapist who is connected and attuned to us can walk us out of the tangle... they say things that make it all just melt away.

My thoughts whirl and race and on some level I enjoy the feeling that I can really think and process things better than I usually can. Yet it's exhausting and it feels physically bad. Risperdal helps with the obsessive thoughts. But my therapist helps pull me out of my brain and into my *being* self, where it's calm, far better than Risperdal ever could. I don't know how he does it.
