Dear Stargaze17:

No doubt in my mind that the best thing for you to do is to make an appointment with your therapist, who you say helped you tremendously for a year. But you’ll have to face some of your fear of making the appointment before you actually make it.  Let’s say, that you tell your therapist about the ache, and she reacts like your mother would in a similar circumstance, what would your therapist say or do when you tell her, what would her face look like, the way she looks at you…?
