Update on session with T yesterday....

Thanks, Sannah!

The one realization that hit me today...which I know is common with a lot of us in therapy....is that our therapists are such a big part of our lives, whereas we are only one of many in theirs. My T has a wife and children, an established and successful practice covering an array of areas in wellness/wholeness, etc.....and I'm here struggling, with only T IRL as a my primary support.

As hard as it was to know that he would walk away from me so easily, it is a big reality check for me to not put all my eggs in his basket. I know it's important for me to develop a better support system in my life. I just don't have it right now....

Yes! A good life has connections to others. This would be a good goal.

Before I split up with my husband, I had many, many friends - some very close ones too...and I ended up slipping into bouts of severe depression more than once. I have lost my zest for life over the last 1-1/2 years and have no desire to be around anybody, especially family and friends. On occasion, I will...and then I go back into "hiding".....I just don't have the energy or desire right now....
