I think part of my problem is that I'm confused now about my goals in therapy. The predominant issue that I presented to T when I began 1 1/2 years ago has been more or less resolved. Therapy was a life saver for me.

Other issues have popped up but I've been taught tools on how to manage emotions to some degree. So, if those emotions do not threaten to upend my life, then why do I still continue with therapy?

Do I go just so I can talk to someone without reserve? Do I continue just because T knows me almost better than anyone else?

Of course she cannot solve my personal problems and I do not expect her to do that. Do I talk to her about my depressed state last week? I survived it so what's the point of bring it up?

Do I tell her about my anxiety of my life situation? Why? I'm managing the tension that exists in my life. So what that I can talk to her about it? It's not like her hearing me will change the challenges that I face.

I am maintaining a semblance of equilibrium even with the assault of emotions I'm experiencing. Isn't that the goal of therapy?

So, what do I talk about and what is the purpose now? Maybe that's the topic for today.
