First place Quote by Kara Lee Corthron

“In a flash, I remember why I don't care for therapists and why I didn't want to do this in the first place. They judge. Even if they don't mean to, they do. They think they know best and, sorse yet, they can convince you it's true.” quote by Kara Lee Corthron
