Text from T. Still not sure where this bus is headed but I am glad I have him for the ride.

"Hi C. Please know that I respect and appreciate your goal of increasing feelings of belonging. I agree that this is a core issue. That is the reason I brought up regulating your affect as a goal that will not only motivate an end result of a deepening sense of belonging, it will also serve to deal with a host of other issues as they come up including issues related to your diagnosis. What this means is that you would come to session and talk about whatever you wanted and I would work with you on uncovering your emotions so that you could feel more safe in certain situations as well as discovering a lot more about yourself and how are you organizing your behavior which we do unconsciously, which is why it makes it so difficult to change our behavior."

As I read this it seems kinda crazy that I need someone to help me uncover my emotions, but then again, I think I sort of flip the switch to anger rather quickly so who knows what was supposed to be there first - ya know?
