Night night Lola.

I also think that it has been very helpful for me to work with a male T and feel experience a feeling of safety with a male. It has been a challenge at times, especially when he has displayed more masculine/aggressive energy. But it has been quite healing I believe.
Thanks for this!

Hey Healed, what you up too?

RS are you able to talk to new T?
I think the sexual tension actually helps.
Or maybe a substitute mother is more useful than a substitute father?

everyone~ i missed the majority of the chatter here as I passed out in bed for a 3 hr nap earlier. Jersey, I love watching christmas specials. I agree, it was the one time where things were "normal" or "okay". All was okay in the world for those short one hour moments.


I like to watch this short movie every year. It makes me cry but it's so pretty.

Hey couch peeps.....just checking in....I just got home. Long night. Had group T which went well, met the new woman...and I shared my discomfort about newbies, yadda yadda yadda. It was a good session. I was quite open - and shared some tough things (like admitting that I wanted people to be proud of me for performing stand-up comedy - yikes, the shame, ughhh)....

Then, went straight to my comedy class meeting in preparation for our first open mic tomorrow night (which I'm going to miss cuz I'm going to my daughter's school chorus concert).

Tuesday nights are officially my bipolar nights - with group T and comedy class falling on total opposite ends of the spectrum - so hard to do!!

Good morning.. H and I are staying home for work. We have to do something with our friend. It is going to be an emomtionally draining day for everybody involved.
But first- I got to get the kiddos to school and daycare.

morning. Very little sleep, but I stayed in bed anyways. I have my little niece today, and I had a horrid dream in the early morning that I lost her somehow. It was awful because in the dream I suddenly realized that I had her that morning and couldn't figure out where I left her. And my siblings were staying with me for some big thing and they were all talking badly about me and how stupid I was for loosing a child. I kept trying to dial 911 for help but it kept coming up 811, and my fingers wouldn't work. I woke up crying.

((( wiki ))) - Wow, what a horrible dream. I know that when I have nightmares that involve my daughter, it's absolutely terrifying. When I am able to make meaning of it and take action as a result, it tends to help.

((( granite ))) - Good luck at your T session today. Hopping in your pocket!

((( MKAC ))) - Glad you're feeling better today!

I'm super tired this morning. I'd like to catch up on some sleep, but I know that if I go back to sleep I will probably feel groggy and sluggish when I wake up - and I need to be on-the-go today to get some things done that have to be done today.

I am feeling soooo embarrassed about what I shared in group T last night about wanting people to be proud of me for performing stand-up comedy...and how elating it felt to have people be proud of me for that accomplishment. I feel the need to punish myself for having such a childish desire.
