Thank you for hearing me yesterday. When I get in those places I either flip out and shut down or "babble". I think I am somewhere in between. You helped me much!!

I've Googled today looking for an explanation or some kind of validation for what I experienced. If Google doesn't know what to think, that's a curious place to be. [emoji15]

I've been working with my counselor for about 3 years. I'm not diagnosed with anything, and to be honest, I don't want to be. It's just what it is, and I'm walking through it. The word "alter" kind of bothers me, not any fault of yours, but just going back to not being "diagnosed" with an "issue" helps me deal with the working through it better. That sounded weird. ?

I think what I'm trying to say is that I want to deal with the issues as they appear, and not claim a particular issue. Hope that makes sense.

I did find a reference to a book "Waking the Tiger" several times in my searching, and ordered it today. Another book! [emoji33][emoji848][emoji851]

Anyway!! I just wanted to say thank you for hearing me, in my state, and being there.
