I really meant it, there was nothing wrong, nothing that I wouldn’t normally just roll my eyes at and forget about.

It can be a time to explore issues that have been tucked away in the back of your mind for many years. It can be really hard for some women to manage the intensity of these emotions, even if there is something useful to gain from the experience.
