this is something I think nearly every day. I know many of us wish our therapists could be more that what they are.

My therapist has been working on my being more positive and in the same vein, I find myself thankful that she is in my life, in whatever capacity she is able to be. My life definitely would not be better if she weren’t there at all.

I was feeling this sort of gratitude after my session today in which I had to go and bring up a couple of things where some things she said triggered hurt/anger feelings in me.

I paused/hesitated a bit before I finally took a breath showed her a picture from my art journal.

This led to a very good discussion that lasted a good 20 minutes and in the end, I think we each had a better understanding of each other.

We also talked about the progress I have made thus far in the seven months that I have been seeing her and I left feeling very good about the session and the day ahead.

I left feeling very thankful to have this woman in my life.

And thank you for all the support you’ve all shown me here. I don’t take it for granted and am very appreciative to have a place to go when things get tough or even when things are good and have people who understand.
