people with the same characteristics or experiences will share the same
irrational beliefs, and so will not ask embarrassing questions about them.
But then, it’s hard to see how having a therapist with the same blind spots
and prejudices could do anybody much good.
Good therapist or not, one day, you’ll find yourself alone in the blast
zone. Don’t let the sound and fury confuse you. Through the dust and
ashes keep sight of the fixed stars. What you do can make a difference.
Take courage from your desire to help, and remember always that what’s
scariest usually works best.
