Couch number 33!!!!!

Your right MKAC---this keeping quiet crap is not gonna fly. Sorry T, I know you were trying to help, but F this..I'm gonna go punch him now.

maybe staple it to his chest

Granite, yes..that will get his attention.

you held out longer then i would have jersey. he should be able to go looking for these jobs

Thanks yous guys. I'm gonna go deal with him now. See yous all later. hugs and love

Check back to let us know you are ok.

LC- did dealing with the therapist today bring you any comfort?

No. Really really really not.

I'm out of here for a bit.

hey apt giving you a big boundary ignoring hug before you outa here

I had the most bizarre feeling today while in T and it is continuing on and off now. Its a surreal feeling of numbness. It is like I'm walking through life in slow motion and things are muffled. I mentioned that to him, he didn't seem concerned. He wants me to make a list of what I need from him and therapy..... so I guess that means I need to find a new T.

Apt - you okay?

Yeah Apt... what's going on?

LC - it it like a feeling of disassociation? I get that in the therapist's office a lot.
Why do you think his wanting you to make a list/what you need from him means you need to find a new one? (I am all for finding new ones, just would not have made this conclusion from the request)

Its like a floating feeling, kind of like I'm drugged.

Sorry - I'm too old for tantrums. But I cannot deal with other people right now it seems. I get angry and upset for no reason. My fault, and my problem, not CE's or anybody else's.

Hugs and/or polite bows to all that want them. And thanks, all.

Apt - I feel that way too about not dealing with other people. It waxes and wanes for me, but is always present at some level.

LC - for me it can be a floaty drugged feeling. The one therapist asks where I have gone and labels me resistant if she notices, and the other asks me to describe the feeling and tells me it is a sign I am being overwhelmed and so then she takes things back a step or two to help me.
I can get it other places too.

LC-Like stopdog, that seems as though you were dissociated. Happened to me a lot in T before.

Also, I don't think the T asking you to make a list of what you need out of therapy means you have to get a new T. Perhaps, due to the recent thing you went through..maybe he just wants to help ground you and having something to work towards...just a thought..

You know what happens when you work in a Christian school and the boss man finds out that one of his staff hasn't been in church for three weeks. Boss man asks me to speak with the other boss man (pastor of the church that the school resides in, the church owns the school).. So, that meeting was today.. It went ok. He actually had some useful advice, and didn't make me feel like the inferior sex, and that more than anything, he wants me and H to be on the same page. Whether that means we stay where we are or go somewhere different. So, even thought I was dreading the mtg, I am glad it happened.

MUE- I hope everything works out for you- praying!!
Apt- I hope you are ok.

Lola- just make the list, don't assume to think that means T can't meet your needs. This is the time to talk about how you need not som much the talking, but the skills. Therapy is good, you might just need a different form.

oh.. Jersey.. I think your H needs a swift kick in the A SS!!! And showing h those listings might be the kick that he needs.

LOL - Agree - cuz that other stuff sounds too much like nagging?!!

Stapling is okay. Nail guns are right out.

For the first, just once, maybe twice. Unless you mean a very small child.

For the second, cat or dog?? Cuz dogs should learn pretty fast...

Otherwise, who made you the boss of the barbecue?

I apologise for this, Lola. Excessive.

What I meant was:
1. I believe you face some serious challenges.
2. I fear for your safety.
3. I would feel more comfortable if you were getting some kind of professional help.

But that doesn't necessarily mean you current T or even your current kind of therapy. It might be time to try something else.

That made it MUCH better CE, thanks.

And I have never met a cat who acknowledged my praise was motivational. More like merely their due, and usually a shabby offering at that.
