I think at times, I have posted things and then got so annoyed at the responses because they weren't what T would say at all! Then I learned to hold onto these thoughts, feelings, emotions and put them in the right place--whether in a poem I write and bring to T or simply in session as a topic. I was so freaked out when therapy began. I am still amazed at how little connection I had to myself. As I become more self-aware, I find my tolerance of others' therapies grows. I never was a fan of the one size fits all perspective for anything, so why would it be true for therapy? I have learned to stay away from threads that trigger me as there are some topics that just send me over the edge. In those cases I protect myself (something I learned in T) and also protect the writers from my poison pen. LOL

I do love the board and all of you and find great comfort here on many many levels. but have also become very protective of my own therapy. It is so very special to me and I have found tremendous healing through the relationship that I never thought possible. I have a long way to go but hopefully that means that T and I will be together for a while more!
