T is going to look at the journal, that is partly what is making it so hard. We are going to discuss it. The T did mention art and some other things too. I have never shared my thoughts with anyone and am having a hard time trying to trust the idea.
I tried working on the journal today, but didnt get to far. I need to go somewhere quiet and concentrate on it.
Thanks for the continued thoughts.

Sometimes, wishes seem so scary or seem so impossible that it can be hard to write them (or think them) because it can feel like a commitment to accomplish them *right now*. yikes. Keep in mind that therapy is a process, is at your own pace, and there is much to learn and experience along the way. And wishes (goals) can change during the process, and that is okay too. At any time we can say, I no longer want to focus on that.
New things seem bigger than they are sometimes. New things/experiences are unfamiliar and that can feel scary and can feel so foreign that it seems as if they aren't *right*. But in time, new and unfamiliar and uncomfortable can become familiar and comfortable.
