I have not had this experience before with a therapist, where there are no parts of my life I have to hide. I can go to Max with my most wild fears and obsessions, when I feel absolutely crazy and they make me feel like maybe I’m not crazy. They are honest with me, when what I’m thinking is maybe kinda out there, or not real, because sometimes what I experience is paranoia and stuff. And they just get it, and I feel normal, and safe, and also am doing better than I’ve ever done before. I don’t have to pretend I’m okay when I’m not and their really good at reminding me who I am and help me measure myself against my own values. Everything feels more manageable after talking to them, and I can carry things they point out with me, and it doesnt spin out of control.
