Did any in the US notice over the last years I write in US English?
I have noticed that you don't use the work "whilst".
Psychotherapy can help, but the therapist has to be very good, and a good match for you. Otherwise, it's a waste of quite a bit of money. Just remember, your therapist is every bit as screwed up as you are, often even more so. If you have any doubts, get out and try someone else.
