It sounds like your t is taking more of an expressive arts approach with the writing and the drawing, and I think that's so good for you. It gets you out of your head and your body and emotions involved, just coming at things from another angle. It's why I like expressive arts so much.
I'm also proud of you for taking one and a half of the zoloft. That's good. I really hope this helps with your OCD.
Overall you seem like you're going down a good path.

Thank you, Adel. A few weeks ago my T suggested my drawing something because I was having trouble talking about it. I don't think either of us expected that I would spend the next few sessions asking for the drawing paper again! I'm so glad my T is willing to use the expressive arts because for most of my therapy, she has told me that EMDR changes the brain, and that would help me the most. Then she studied SE, somatic experiencing, and said that would help me more. I don't think the EMDR was very successful for me, and she realized that it's not a cure for everyone. The writing and drawing seem to do more for me than the EMDR did, to get me out of my head. She still uses IFS, Internal Family Systems, when she asks me about a part, like "how old is she?" or "what is she feeling", etc. I really like my T. The best thing is that it's been about me, yet I feel closer to her than ever before!
I feel shaky today and I took my blood pressure and blood sugar, which are both normal. So it's probably the increase in zoloft, or wouldn't 1/2 pill make a difference? I think I'm on a good path too!
