I talked with my therapist yesterday about my progress. I told her that I wasn't sure if I was really moving 'forward' that much anymore. Of course, she talked to me about my goals and what I needed/wanted from therapy.

At this point, I am not sure that 'moving forward' is what I need from therapy. I just need to 'accept myself' and learn to deal with everyday stresses and encounters. I don't think I need to go back into my past or necessarily talk about 'deep' issues.

I really just want to go in there evey week and bring her the 'here and now' stuff. Things that are going on now that I need to work through and find out how I can do those things more efficiently, effectively, and with less stress.

Do you ever get to the point that you don't think working on really deep stuff is what you need? I have been in therapy for 19 months. We have worked on just about every issue from my past that I can think of. Yes, she thinks I still have not totally worked through some of it because it keeps coming back to 'bite me in the hiney'!

I really just want to go in my sessions and 'talk'. Nothing too serious, nothing really deep, just talk about my everyday life. I need to see what I am doing that is hindering me, what helps me, and which areas I need to readjust so that I get the maximum benefit from every day.

I also need to talk about my triggers. I have them alot. I need to learn to work through those and not allow them to cause me to spiral out of control. We already work on those alot, but I am not sure that I have really accepted that it is okay to have them. It does not make me 'strange, weird, odd' if this affects me in my everyday life.

Is anyone at this point? Just wanting your therapist to help you with everyday things? I think this may be hindering me in therapy because I feel that everytime I go in there, I have to talk about some really deep emotional issue. I just want to TALK! I want to be heard and have someone listen to me and help me with daily stresses.
