So I continue to give T pieces of information. They are clues to who I am. I tell stories. I read from journals. I share current emotions. I pull up old emotions that feel current. Bits and pieces, bits and pieces slowly slowly slowly.
I am very very very confused who I am and why I respond/react the way I do. I don't understand myself and I want to be conscious of what I do and why. So, will T be able to take all these pieces of the puzzle that I'm giving her and present me with a complete picture? Will she be able to finally tell me what's wrong with me and tell me how to fix it? I don't want to just see one piece of the puzzle and analyze it. I want to see and understand the whole. Is that possible? |

It's possible to a certain extent.....will you ever get to see the absolute whole picture, though, and all the parts of it? That I don't know. But I believe that you will be able to get a more complete understanding of yourself, bit by bit, and have a more balanced view of yourself, overall.
I am learning more about the distortions I have that have kept me from having a balanced view of myself.......a lot of what's wrong with me, with my way of being, is those distortions I have, for whatever reasons they came into being (abuse, trauma, etc). So if I have a better understanding of those distortions, of old, unneeded coping mechanisms, when I use them, and what I could think/do/use instead, I can have a more healthy and balanced and healed view of myself. Exchange old patterns for new (going back to your grooves.....  )I don't know how this answers your question, come to think of it.....but hope there's something in it that is helpful! |

I feel like at any moment one piece of the puzzle is all we really get. You can connect it with one piece or another piece, but there's something really indeterminate about the whole thing. I'm sorry I feel like I'm fence sitting on this one. But I really think that by the time you understand who you are in therapy, you've already changed quite a bit.

Lol, this is why I always pick a cute therapist. That way, even if the future doesn't change, at least you're enjoying the present moment.

What I love about PC is that I can sort through some of my questions with all of you and not have to use my precious $80.00 50 minutes once a week session on it. Thanks guys - you're great!!

Which reminds me.. I need to PM you my bill (PM stands for Pay Me, in case you wondered ). Not $80 bucks an hour, surely, just a little something for my uneducated opinions and second guessing.  of course you KNOW I'm kidding; what is found at PC is the Voice of Experience, a lot of the time, and that is like gold. People are very generous to share what they've learned. And it's impressive how much compassion is fostered by suffering. PC people... they are the best

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
