Though I think it would be hard to work with some one my age because I feel I need to be more put together but with older T's they've seen enough people that I don't have to feel bad for my mental state.
it's THE main reason I work with someone my age.... I worked with a few older ones and found myself wanting to be cared for(that seemed to be the thing I focused on mostly instead of settling the traumas and other things like having friendships and stuff), and not working as hard as I think I could have, thinking-- "well, you have had MORE time to get things together, so it's "time" that makes the difference NOT my thinking/behaviors"..... for me it seemed to become an excuse to not progress as much.....

with the current T., my age.... she's had the same amount of time as I have... so -- maybe i can get it together too?!
...... I've not any friends and all siblings are older and have mental struggles.... I think I need to see how one my age CAN be in a better state of mind and functional......

not that I CAN be just like that... but... I can sure do my best and do the work that leads me to inner peace/balance/healing.....
though, I do get a sick stomach from the work..... yuk.....

hearts to all
