My First Broken Heart, Part Three

Laurel’s rapid response wasn’t unusual, as numbers of other people who successfully went through the program would later prove. Young, old, men, women, gay, straight, they were all, in some ways, immobilized by pain.

Many of them were skeptical of therapy in general and especially wary of a systematic program. That’s not surprising because some therapy can take years and still produce little in the way of results.

I believe therapy should be held to the same standards as medicine and work as quickly and painlessly as possible.

And that healing progresses best when therapy is specifically designed to address a specific problem and is systematic and step-by-step.
