    psychotherapy: Unfortunately, people really do keep a good deal of things from their therapist, including some of the actual key reasons/issues that are driving them to seek therapy in the first place.  There’s a rather fascinating post/poll/discussion about this going on currently over at the always wonderful Jung at Heart, and I’d like to add on to her informal research by putting forth a variation on one of those same questions to all of you who are (or have been) in therapy: Do you feel like you are keeping a significant secret about yourself from your therapist?  (And if so, why?)

      i’ve never told any...the five or six therapists i’ve had that i’ve had

"I'm gonna be the love that's gonna last
And be the one that got your back
Ain't nothing ever that bad that we won't be together
And though we both made our mistakes
And some we never wish we made
But we'll be okay if we just stay together"
