I hope everyone is good. I've been hanging and reading. Just didn't feel like saying much.
Your opinion, to me, would be very valued.
Last Monday I met with my counselor. He usually dresses in very calming colors. Soft colored plaid shirts and khaki pants. Never really thought about it. This past Monday he was wearing a long sleeve red/burgundy shirt and black pants. It didn't really register with me at the time but the session time we had was very strained. I knew that I didn't feel like I was making sense in what I was saying, but I don't think I was completely there.
I got home and was trying to sort out what was wrong. I just kept feeling stupid because I didn't think I had made any sense.
When I think back on my time with him, all I can see is the red shirt and black pants. It's really disturbing me and I'm not sure what to do about it.
I don't understand it.
Can anyone else relate?

Colors can be very triggering for us, depending on the color and which part would consider it as their favorite, like girl colors would evoke the fems and boy colors....well, they really don't care all that much. I just try to tune any trigger out of my head by averting the eyes once I realized what's causing it. Usually once I know what the trigger is, I can work around it- doesn't mean that it's gone till next time, but I'm better aware.
Another thing, if you feel this way again in a meeting, bring it up and see if it can be worked out there on the spot now that you know the feeling. Good luck.
