Sorry I haven't posted an update. It's been a rough week.

I went to the group therapy not really knowing what it was all about. I really wish I had done my homework first on gestalt therapy which is what this is. I am still struggling to understand even though I've read so much about it online.

I was welcomed warmly and told some of my story since I was a newbie. I walked out of there feeling great! But then I started to second guess myself....and I realized that I had talked way too much, didn't "do" the "gestalt thing" and now feel embarrassed by it all.

I go back tomorrow and wonder if it'd be a good idea to bring up my embarrassment which could be used as a tool to an exchange of in-the-moment feelings to make me feel better....or will it leave me vulnerable to feeling worse...or should I just shut the hell up.

I am having a really hard time right now.
