Powerful therapy session today. We watched a video, Ted Talk, and the dude was an excellent speaker. Basically it was about ACT (Acceptance Commitment Therapy). So the basic idea is to learn to stop avoiding, denying, and struggling with inner emotions and accept that these deeper feelings are appropriate responses to certain situations that should not prevent you from moving forward in your life. It involves mindfulness. We also talked about what the meaning of "love" is, which was so helpful. (There was no poodle in my video; I felt a bit cheated  )
Then there's a second part to the video, which we'll watch next time. That one has actual exercises you can do. I like that.
But I was so warm in the therapy office! M. kept saying "it finally warmed up in here!" and I was thinking, Geez, you must be one of those old ladies who keeps her house at 80 degrees.
