But this lak meant something to somebody, and that ended up being a really great feeling. It's simple, you know, you tell someone your experience, and that either helps them or it doesn't. And if it doesn't, they don't have to read it. I've gotten into d w winnicott lately in, i a pretty big way. There's not a lot of personal narratives about healing.

“I used to be so fearful. ... I was afraid of losing my family. Then, after I had lost them, I was afraid that I made the wrong decision. Then I wrote the book and I was afraid that was the wrong decision. Everything made me frightened back then, and I just—I don't have that feeling now.”
