Not having a center is, according to the therapist, the one problem that explains all my problems. It’s the thing that connects the dots, the cancer that explains the strange symptoms; for instance, Why don’t I want to leave the city and buy a house with my fiancé? People with fiancés love houses. Yet people without centers are afraid of houses. People without centers do not like thinking about mortgages, because people without centers do not value commitment, since they can’t even commit to themselves.
