Smoke will not be blown

Three weeks ago I started therapy. Tired of my feelings and reactions I had to do something and I made the call. I've tried therapy before but seem to be "ready" for it this time. This is also the first time I've seen a male therapist. So far so good, he's honest and it's what I need. Today he basically said "I'm not gonna blow smoke at ya. I'm going to tell you how it is." Wow. Most of the men in my life have made me feel like crap or they're afraid to tell me the truth for fear of my reaction. Maybe I've found my soul mate :)
