Finally saw a therapist after my wife gave me a 30 day ultimatum in Austin
I was sitting in my truck outside a Whataburger after she said she'd leave if I didn't deal with my anger issues. Walked into a clinic the next morning and spent 6 sessions unpacking stuff from my childhood I'd never even thought about. Anyone else had a partner force them to face something you were avoiding?

Whoa hold up, you were sitting in a Whataburger parking lot when she gave you that ultimatum? That's heavy, man. I mean, that's not exactly a calm place to have that conversation, with the smell of fries and all. But good on you for walking into a clinic the next morning. Most folks would have just sat in that truck fuming for a week or two, you know? Coming from someone who's seen a lot of tough decisions made in hospital waiting rooms, that took some guts. Hope those sessions are still doing you right, even if the first step came with a side of ketchup on your lap.

Grande order of courage right there. No hesitation, just action.
