A tribute to the late and great, Dr. Edward Black…” In the first five minutes it was evidently clear how bad I was at “doing therapy.” So obvious, in fact, that after I finished talking, Dr. Black blinked and said, “You’ve never been to therapy before, have you?” To which I replied, “That obvious, huh?” The first session was a disaster. He reassured me that it takes a few times before it gets better, but I was totally out of my element. I left with racing thoughts, “This isn’t going to work” “This is stupid” “What does he know?” “I’m doomed.”
