I didn't know what to expect.
I was afraid that they would start to get into things
that I really wasn't prepared to get into at the time.
And when I walked into his office,
I really was ready to leave.
It was a very difficult thing for me to simply say,
"All right, I'll sit down and I'll stay."
And I think the counselor knew that.
And because of his manner, just the way he put me
at ease, enabled me to stay.
Had he not been as open and friendly as he was,
had he not been someone who could explain or begin
to explain the fact that he understood what I was feeling
and that he felt that at this point, it was a normal feeling
for me to feel that way and that we would have a chance to deal
with those feelings and try to see if I could come to grips
with it and come to grips with the people that I was affecting,
my family, people at work and so on.
But it was a very scary moment to walk in
and start to deal with issues.
