Alternatives to Therapy
: ""Their practice did not involve being outside in the sun where you begin to feel better. (...) Instead they would take people one at a time into these dingy little rooms and have them sit around for an hour or so and talk about bad things that had happened to them. We had to ask them to leave.""
