Cheryl in AZ,

I have gone 20 years with this pain, and only just now have been put in the care

of a CBT. I have only seen her once so far, but am scheduled for weekly

'sessions'.

I fear I have been gabbing her ear off too much already, but as I can't talk

about my problem to anyone else, it is a major help for me emotionally. I can't

wait to see how well she can help me with my pain!
