I think he is right. I really don't embrace these things emotionally as things I have to do. I know them factually as the steps I need to take but I don't feel it emotionally. Otherwise I'd be taking those steps or I wouldn't be here. He is definitely a psychiatrist who practises "tough love" more than others I've met. Maybe that's a good thing. But I also know I don't like leaving feeling worse than when I started.
