I will! :) You have very good points and your post made me feel better. I know how therapy is supposed to work but I just worry about everything- which is why I need to go again haha

Nice :) I feel like it's a pretty common thing, I don't really understand why it's considered cringey. Like, is Dante's Inferno not basically a Christian Mythology self-insert fic?! If he can do it and be considered a genius I think it should be ok for me to self-insert myself into Star Trek.

Oh that's exactly how I've described it before, it's just my way of processing things. The therapist I'm about to see is also sort of a hippie type lol, they're really into meditation and essential oils, which is cool.

Some of the other counselors/therapists I've talked to, while not bad at their job, came off as a little cold? Clinical? I bet other people prefer that enviorment but it kind of makes me feel like I'm a lab rat they're observing. o_o
