just caught up on the couch and it seems to have been a rough day for a lot of us.

Btw, Lola my T was wearing those shoes as well, but much more worn.

Rain-it may be fear getting in the way more than anything. Therapy will teach you self-worth and to love yourself. Once you do that, you can give more to those you want to love

True that!! And who gives a rat's patoot that it takes some of us 50 years to learn how to love ourselves.... what's important is getting there.

This is the first chance I've had today to flop on the couch. I'm sorry so many have had a tough day.

I can't count how many times I've made T tell me that he won't abandon me, won't kick me out and won't let me push him away. He's told me that even if I tried to physically hurt him, he'd just try to figure out why. If I choose to pull away, he'll respect that choice, but it won't be his decision, no matter how long it takes or what I tell him. I'm starting to believe him.

I finally swam tonight. I hadn't been in the pool for more than a month. I've been a total slug.

I am new to the couch, but have been on the boards awhile.
I see my new therapist for session number 3. He is going on vacation sometime in October. I hope I don't miss him and start that all over again.

Antimatter... I know it sounds repetitive but my T says "Trust The Process" Whatever that means.

Welcome to the couch! We love when new folks drop in.

It's so textbook.

How do you feel Chopin. Did you go out to dinner?

Went out to dinner. Walked around Target. Bought a fedora. Something happened, now I'm down again. I'll PM you.

Trust the process is what therapists say when they mean they do not know what they are doing and are just hoping as much as you are that something will work. Like a placebo.
Thanks for this!
