...each others’ lives. Much like any other change of gears, these Catch-Up Car Confabulations do not spontaneously begin the moment the engine guns; it certainly take a few minutes for passengers to adjust to the intimate car environment.

...anxiety Klaxons may go off the instant the therapy begins. Gradually, however, as each exposure level is reached, the alarms start to quiet; they sound again only when the intensity of the exposure is turned up.
