Hi Sister, Mouse... and all...

I too worry about taking other's opinions as my own. I think that other's opinions/support have helped me through. The bottom line I think is that it is my session and I can portray things from my perspective but not from my therapist's perspective (except from my perception.)

I have appreciated sharing and receiving. Then I take all and weigh it in relation to what I think may be going on within me and within my session and my work.

It is like I spread what I need to out here, collect thoughts, reorganize and take what I think works for my situation, look at the reality of my situation (as I can figure out), reframe and go. So far... at least....

It has been very helpful for me to have this place to share. It has really, to a great degree, saved me this weekend.

Yes Mouse.... I am glad you have this place to share. I wish you could share at home. I live alone except for my 2 cats and internet..(lol).
