words of advice, From: Me. To: Me.

[2redpath5]

 I have a new LJ friend, I don't know if she wants to be mentioned here (if she does, I'll go back and edit), but she is a yankee transplant, like myself, trying to make sense of a new life in Alabama.  
I offered her this advice and thought I would place it here for a reminder for me as well.

Main point: therapy=good.
Honest understanding of the motivations behind our actions, and emotions behind our words = wise.
