Oh my gosh, if therapy had to be logical, I would have quit years ago!!! Feelings and logic don't always go hand in hand. And you know what? I tried to use logic to work my way through this stuff for years and years. "My childhood is over now, so it doesn't make sense for me to be upset about it", "I have a good life, so whatever happened to me when I was young doesn't matter", etc. It all makes sense when I write it down and look at it, but logic never got me anywhere. I had to go through what I had to go through...lots of feelings, and fears, and "not-logic", to even start to heal.

Since our feelings aren't always about what's really going on in therapy, logic just doesn't always work. Yeah, you can look at it and think "well, he's given me extra time, so this is fine". But if it triggers something in you...feeling unimportant at some time in the past, or feeling in the way, or feeling unloved...it just DOES. And it's important.

Hang in there, WP. This stuff sucks, but when we feel it and look at it honestly, we take a step forward.
