Occasionally I wonder how his daily practice affects and is affected by his blogging. For example, on two occasion he brought up a topic in session that he had blogged about in the previous few days. On another few occassions, it felt like a blog post was inspired by something that happened in my session just before. Or maybe I just like to think that I affect T more than I really do...  |
My therapist also has a blog. After I had seen her for about six months or so, one day when I was talking about missing her between sessions she told me about it so I could read that for comfort. I have had that same thought about my T having a limited selection of material also, haha! I too have wondered as to if/how much my therapy influences or is influenced by her blog topics.
At any rate, I'm slightly uncomfortable about it, but mostly pleased to have access and something of hers to read that is not so highly charged as some of our session topics. Hers is a gentle blog, with lots of simple wisdom, nothing too difficult, complicated, or upsetting to read.
