Hi everybody! I have begun group therapy as some people already know. I also had an assessment done by the pdoc for what issues apparently affect me most. on the med-high scale I have issues of Abandonment, Mistrust/Abuse (although I was not physically or sexually abused), and Vulnerability.

On the highest scale of issues, I have Social Isolation, Failure, Insufficient Self Control, Approval Seeking, Negativity/Pessimism (and how), and Punitiveness.

These are the issues I have to work myself through. WOW! If anybody else has had counseling in these issues and can offer any advice, let me know. It seems like this journey of self exploration is not going to be easy.

I hope counseling goes well for you

Wow, that is quite a lot to deal with. I can't say I have experienced any of those issues, but I want to offer my support and wish you well.

I had a ton of failure- got fired from fifty-eight jobs....kept going,......I havbe held the same job now for 2 years..........

To be honest...I didn't think I had that many issues HAHAHA!

Many of them make sense, but, there are also certain personality traits that can be beneficial too. We are all a little lonely, worried, regretful, scared, etc. That's what makes us all human though. It will be interesting.

Hugs to you all. Thanks for the support.
