Therapy changed my life.

More than once.

As a child, I was not an overachiever. There was a brief, glorious period between the ages of 2-8 when I was a gifted kid, won annual awards for academic excellence, and read voraciously, but that all ended when I was about 9 years old. After that, I was solid underachiever material, hounded constantly about my potential, my laziness, and my failures.
