i told my therapist how i feel about her (amidst tears and an anxiety attack ) it was so so hard. i never expected to go 'there' ... but 'there' i was...

she was so awesome about it. so supportive. so amazing.

she accepts me and how i feel - which is a great example to show me how to accept myself 'cause i'm having a hard time accepting how i feel. it's actually very overwhelming to have someone show such compassion toward me. i'm so not used to that, especially from myself. it's good to 'see' what that 'looks' like.

my goal this year was to go deeper. i think this is a good start.

Don't strain yourself,

in the body-mind
Has no real importance at all,
has little reality whatsoever.

Don't believe in the reality
of good and bad experiences;
they are today's ephemeral weather,
like rainbows in the sky.
