I am a bit stunned. I actually told T the things I wanted to tell him. (Talking is hard for me.) I didn't say everything perfect, it was actually a big weird mess, but he got it, and I actually put my issue out there. I surprised myself.
 Not only that, but his response was that this was an issue that I don't have to fix myself and that I should leave it with him for him to figure out. I feel a million pounds lighter. This is the cool part of therapy. I was at an incredibly high level of anxiety when I left, yet I still felt like skipping to my car.

I still find it a bit disorienting to get what I need in session, not what I expect. So happy for you. Peace to you.

That's awesome! I know how hard it is to "put yourself out there", it's NOT easy! Congrats to you; I can imagine how wonderful that feels!

How wonderful it sounds to hand something over to T and have him say he'll take care of it. Love that! I'm going to use this as inspiration next time I have trouble bringing something up in session. Congratulations, and thanks for sharing.

I should probably add that it's quite likely that T said what he said to me because I have a horrendous time asking for help or believing anyone can help me. I tend to think everything is all my problem and I am the one who has to solve it. This is why I have so many anxiety issues.
I have a strong hunch T is trying to teach me that other people can help me. I don't even know how to begin to trust that, I'm just going along with having left the problem in the therapy room. That is enough for me right now. |

And as a follow-up, I had to change my appt due to circumstances out of my control and now don't go back until November. Not happy at all.
