2 " We sit across from each other and when our eyes meet it is as if they cling to each other "
3 " My life: a constant struggle to overcome fear, to retain some kind of normalcy. "
4 " know how important it is for me to maintain control over my life. And how it feels to lose it, when it slips between your fingers like a wet bar of soap. "
5 " Dare to live in the present, for what it is. Even if it hurts. I know exactly how to do it, there are well-proven methods. I’m just not able to do it myself. "
6 " always make sure I turn on all the lights—because I don’t like darkness. It’s as if the absence of light erases the boundary between me and the world around me, which frightens me more than I want to admit and brings forth the feeling I know best of all: fear. "
7 " Being a depressed, passive failure with phobias can make you a better therapist, "

9 " But summer is also demanding. We must partake in happiness and social life, friendly gatherings and vacation. "
10 " All the actions we take without being able to foresee the consequences. All the complicated connections between events, relationships between people. "
11 " as if time were a channel, where it was possible to travel in both directions under controlled circumstances, instead of a waterfall. "
12 " But to me, the intent is more important than the cause. The cause is mechanical, the intent has a direction, a force of its own. "
