My therapy has morphed again from dealing with my deep, tough issues into a coaching function...sort of like my T is a life coach these days!
I feel kind of funny that things are taking this turn, but honestly right now I don't want to go into the "big stuff" but want to walk into my Ts office and say...I made it to my exercise class this weekend. (gold star). I finished my year-end financials at work (silver star). I told that bad friend goodbye....and asked about a raise....gee, I'm setting goals and carrying them out and it feels pretty good.
You get the point.
It feels funny to be doing therapy this way, but right now, I am using my therapy as a way to place a stake in the ground, then see if I can run up and ....well, it's about very mundane goals right now, and that's what it is. But I find myself questioning this way of being in therapy...as less "good" than delving into my major "issues." Like it's more superficial and less "serious," but as my depression lifts and dissolves, this feels like the right way to proceed, and it seems to be working and even FUN!
It just does!
