That's why I don't usually make resolutions. Just opening the door to failure. I tend to just try to work on something without making an official resolution out of it.

So I don't have a resolution for therapy for the new year, but I do have a general tendency I am following right now. That is to allow therapy to be more practical. To let myself work on practical, day-to-day, even mundane stuff in therapy, without feeling that it is not suitable. I'm not going to let myself get hung up on that anymore. If T thinks I'm bringing unsuitable topics to him, I'll depend on him to let me know. Last session, we talked about super practical stuff, and T was really open to it. (See, it is OK!! I say to myself.) And I'm going to allow myself to be forward thinking. Instead of being "in the now" or delving into the past in therapy, I'm going to allow myself to think of the future and where I want to go and what I want to be part of my life that is now missing.

I guess those sound like resolutions, but they're really not.
