Ups:
Having a place to dump all of the ugly. It has been an ugly raw year and therapy has been a safe place to be honest (with myself too) about the abuse that had happened and was happening in my home.

Finding my voice. Seeing clearly. Giving words to what I couldn't articulate.

Having a place to think through the choices, and support when I made really hard and unexpected ones. Honestly, I think even my t thought for a while that the choices I was making were too much for what I was facing, but if she did think it she kept it to herself and just asked lots of questions.

Rediscovering my shape, my sense of who I am, my curiosity. Reconnecting with my spiritual self.

Downs:
It's hard. I don't think I've cried as much over the previous ten years as I have over the past year.

There were a few sessions that were disjointed and odd. Still not sure what happened there.
