On August 15, 2012, I arrived at the Renfrew Center in Old Greenwich, Connecticut to start treatment.  I was to be there 5 days a week for 5 weeks – talk about intense!  Upon arrival, I had no idea what to expect and was feeling nervous, anxious and embarrassed.  I walked into a room full of girls and women who were 20 years younger and looked nothing like me and, as you can imagine, my discomfort grew exponentially.  Not only did I feel like a “fish out of water”, I was expected to attend group therapy with strangers!  Ummm – I didn’t do group therapy.  However, my tune quickly changed as the group started sharing and I realized that I had more in common with these wonderful young women than I thought and that’s when the tears began.
