I keep trying to put it in perspective, but unfortunately I can't recall what was said immediately before this. It could even be that she was agreeing with me about something. I think we were talking about how anger can help you realize there are things you want (very shallowly paraphrased, but you get the idea). I think I debated saying something in the moment. This was a session where I was able to be spontaneous, where often I am very closed and will stop myself after uttering a few words. The sesion as a whole felt really good. And it was the 2nd session in a row where I felt I could be spontaneous, the previous session being an added session the day after my weekly session, due to a meltdown after I left that session.

omg, you made me laugh out loud!

ellimay, I agree, and I think it is actually a good and useful saying, and can calm a person when they are struggling. I have used it before, although I never told her that. I had found that it was calming to understand I was trying to change something that was not changeable. ... wait. maybe that's why she offered it up.... ?! To help with my frequent distresses. Thank you. My fury was not letting me think. Still..., I'd rather talk with her about the specific distress directly and come to the conclusion.

She knows I am non-religious, therefore the clever paraphrasing. So that is another facet.

I will talk to her about it. She will help me remember what specifically we were talking about. I considered calling if I could not stop obsessing, but I am calmer now. I may try to write about it later, in my journal that I mostly neglect.

Perna, "a wet towel on the bed is not murder" is funny to me right now, but I think it would have felt demeaning or diminishing at the time.

Thanks to all of you. It is nice to be heard
