C O U C H 39 -The Renaissance Period

Elliemay,

What color did you paint your nails?

I like hearing what you do to treat yourself well. My T asked me what I do for me... to nurish me... I had a hard time thinking of anything other than therapy...

I wanna see the nails!

MKAC hope your sons interview went well!

Hey Lola.... you enjoying the grands... I love 2yr olds... all you need is trucks and trains or dolls and strollers and juice and they are so happy.

(and I don't believe in toys for certain sexes... I got my boys a kitchen set and they had a doll and stroller too... and I played tonka trucks when I was little)

Just because...You are all terrific people. You increase the cosmic harmony exponentially. (despite the odd conflict or two)

O.k That was weird I hardly use "cosmic harmony" I must be feeling the looove"

The interview went quite well for him. Thank you ! Always nice when someone calls your son charismatic and personable.

Takes after his mother!

snort. hahahahaha. ah. Thanks Lola.

The kids are great, just got back from the park and ice cream. Babies napping and we are relaxin. The boy got a kitchen for Christmas and loves it.

And now I have reached despair.

I know in my heart it is over.
She could have saved me, but she chose not to.
A little kindness would have done it.

CE - I am sorry you are hurting. I don't believe the therapist could save you. I don't believe anyone can save anyone else. But perhaps she could have been kinder or figured out a way to reach you and that would mean you could keep seeing her. I hope she apologizes when you see her next or that breaking up with her,if that is what you choose, goes as easily for you as possible under the circumstances.

CE .... Go back and talk to her , just because ahe challenges you doesnt mean she doesnt love you. What if she is giving you want she really believes you NEED out of love?

I am always pleased to hear from people who feel the same as me!

I know I am not CE but I don't think it matters whether the therapist believes she is giving a client what the therapist thinks the client needs if it is not working for the client. It has to work for that client for the therapist's techniques to be useful to that client, in my opinion. I do not think the the therapist's beliefs trump the client's experience.

Yes. She could trip me by accident, but kicking me when I'm down: that's deliberate.

He has been with her a long time so something must have been working. I just hate seeing him hurting and was trying to help.

I know. The idea of others trumping me or ignoring what I say because they are substituting their judgment for mine is a huge issue to me. I was not trying to be as pugnacious as I possibly sounded. Sorry.

Dude i have no idea what that means . love ya anyway!

Did someone say, DANCE!

-Fleeing

Fleeing you are a google search dream... yes lets dance

It was supposed to be an apology.

I've had a hard time with this concept in therapy as well... but IME I did learn that it was up to me to bring that up to my T and it was in my best interest to try to work through it....but that it does not always work to continue on...

Ok... Accepted , although no apologie was needed. Lets just hug it out!

I think you need hugger's anonymous.

Youve given 3 , I wanna be # 4
