It was good to see him, especially after two weeks. He centered in on the identity theft and wanted to make sure that was taken care of so more doesn't happen and I'm left without protection or money. We then talked about the commute, which is a dangerous road. He wanted to make sure I would be able to be safe as a driver. Then we talked about dealing with my partner and his kids and the holidays, which are quite complicated by a traumatic anniversary. He wisely stayed away from anything deep so I wasn't stirred up without having enough time to work it through. He asked doctor type questions about energy and sleep and feelings associated with depression. We ended by talking about getting by with enough concentration to finish up in school. So actually we covered the extraneous stuff that was swirling around and making me distracted. Tomorrow's session will be more in depth I'm sure. This did help to make me feel more contained for now. It is slippery and not that stable but it is a little bit better now.
