I told T about those thoughts we probably had a 20 minute conversation on the things I should be doing(mindfulness and other stuff Im learning). I told her I had been writing poetry and she thought it would be good if I brought some in. Aaaaahhhhhh!!!! I dont know that I am ready for that??? But why wouldnt I share them if there is nothing to hide? Maybe it will be insight I dont verbalize well? What if she thinks they are terrible? Ugh!!!! im so tough on my writing that I cant stand anyone else reading it...why did she suggest this? Sorry kinda panicking...not sure I can handle this idea. God I sound so lame!

I'm sure she won't be reading them as a literary critic, but for insights into you. If she starts correcting the grammar, or finding typos, you might want to find another T

Melissa you ask >> Maybe it will be insight I dont verbalize well?
but poetry is verbalization beyond normal expression. Maybe yr T is interested to see your unique view, the poet's eye view, like no one else's.  anyway you don't HAVE to share them; share if / when you want to (or not at all). T's interest is not a mandate. as the saying goes, "it's your therapy"! |

I actually have been thinking about a poem I wrote that has been on my mind since I posted the thread. It is about fear. It is ringing so true right now.

I used my poetry to help myself, was part of "poetry therapy" when it first was the rage back in the early 1970's.

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