think your challenge is to reinvent your whole life so that it looks beautiful whether or not it has a man in it. If you start dating right now, I think you’re going to feel traumatized. You need to be stronger and healthier and happier before you date again. You’re sitting around asking, “How do I do this?” as if finding another man is the logical next step. Your therapists are saying, “DO IT! GO FOR IT!” and I think that points to a central misconception of where you are and what you need.
