Hi couch.

I have therapy at 11. I'm going. She's going to have to give me a clear answer on why talking about the past at this stage in my therapy is important. Since starting with her, I've learned better coping strategies, learned how my past played a part in my decisions and relationships in life so far, learned how to not cast women into a "motherly" role, and am able to identify triggers. There are still issues to work on, but so far that's what we've done.

If she can't provide me with a clear answer on why we can't continue that work without bringing up details of things that happened in the past, then I'm going to say goodbye. Just makes no sense to me to continue if I leave feeling like crap all the time.
