Head-shrinkers, not shrunked heads

As I mentioned, I've been watching In Treatment. It has me thinking about therapy, so have a poll! I hope these questions aren't too personal.

I was a really little kid when I was in...well, I'm not even sure I can call it what I believe you're thinking about in terms of 'therapy.' As an adult I've never been.

I was thinking basically any kind of counseling in a formal setting. As in, talking to someone whose job it is to have you talk to them. What did you go to as a kid, if you don't mind me asking?

Okay, then, yes, that was therapy. ::grins:: I saw a nice, forty-ish woman at Kaiser Permanente once in her office, and then in a sort of...well, I guess it was a kind of playroom for kids seeing shrinks. Again, I was really quite young, so I'm fuzzy on the details. She asked me questions, I answered them, and then she decided I didn't actually need therapy--I just needed to be removed from an unhealthy non-familial enviornment--so we stopped going.

I don't suppose that helps much? But, it's what I can remember.
