Suffering from dysentery at sea was no picnic.

We have a couple of dogs, but I wouldn't describe myself as an animal person.

There was a special challenge in describing the awful childhood of a person who happens to be my own husband. It was very painful at times, for both of us.

There seems to be this impression that if I really am a psychotherapist, I can't be serious about it. They think there must be something fishy going on.

There may be a point where I may decide to write an autobiography.

The work of a psychotherapist involves being empathic and insightful with one's patients without getting too lost in their painful stories to be helpful.
