... is something you never forget. 

I know you just completed the saying in your head. Everyone knows it. This popular saying reflects the idea that our first romantic experiences leave deep marks on our lives and that our first love holds a special place in our personal history.

Indeed! And depending on the intensity of these experiences, it can take anywhere from four to eighteen years to get over the marks they leave!

I'd also add that this 'memorability' also depends on what stage of life we're in, which is usually adolescence. That makes everything so much more intense and challenging, doesn't it?

But if you're finding it hard to get over, come see me at my office! My name is Ellie, and I'm a psychiatrist. Joking aside, it's thanks to my first love that I pursued this profession.

You must already be imagining how difficult it was to get over this love to the point of needing professional help.

Well, I can tell you all the details if you want. Maybe that way, you'll open up to me, and we can exchange experiences and lessons from the past?
