“Repression. Her therapist, Dr. Solomon, loved the word. He'd say it slowly, letting it roll off his tongue. Sometimes he'd add a chin stroke for good measure. He always looked pleased when he did this, like he'd discovered the Caramilk secret or something.”

“I'm unable to tell you what it feels like to be "a little" mad. My emotions work as if controlled by a light switch. I'm either fine or I'm out of control. I once spilled a container of thumbtacks and got as angry at myself as I did when I screwed up my relationship with my high school sweetheart. If I'm under the impression that there are Golden Grahams in my cupboard, then realize that there in fact are none, there's a high probability I'll be as sad as I was at my grandfather's funeral.
In other words, my reactions aren't in proportion to the things I'm reacting to. It's something I've been working on with a very lovely shrink for the past few years.
But against the 4Skins one day, all that hard word went out the window.”

“Driving on the freeway scared me for a long time. In fact, I was completely incapable of it. I'd take the smaller roads where, weirdly, I felt more comfortable. I talked a lot about it to the shrink because I didn't understand why I was so afraid, and also because it was a real handicap for work and life in general. And it's one of the few subjects about which he deigned to tell me his opinion... He told me that, if you really thought about it, a car had many points with a coffin... that accelerating to unnatural speeds on a road where you know nothing of the people piloting the other coffins made you think... and that, under these conditions, it seemed to him fairly legitimate to be afraid. Since the, I've not been afraid anymore. Psychoanalysis is funny...”

“Being internally driven also feels different. Instead of feeling the weight of expectation coming down on us from the outside, we feel power flowing up from within. External pressure breaks us down, makes us shrink, and burdens us; internal drive builds us up, makes us grow, and energises us.”

“Dr. P said it was because she didn't think she deserved to be happy. That she didn't feel worthy, or some psychobabble crap....
God! She hated when her shrink was right.”
