Therapy

I had a first meeting with a "behavioral health" specialist -- that's what they call them at Kaiser. It sounds so much like a surveillance term that it is very difficult to reveal anything about yourself in the therapist's office, which at Kaiser is a small, cramped office with old, dirty chairs that resemble the kind they have in the medical exam rooms. Needless to say, the surroundings are not conducive to therapeutic feelings of any kind. The woman I was assigned to (I did not get to choose her) was perfectly nice and competent seeming, but alas....
