So, I had a good session. My therapist and I -- we didn't really agree on everything, and there were times when we had some clashes and all that, but I got to talk about how I felt, and she took it very seriously. (And she actually revealed that she's worked with both men and women

Possible trigger:

abused by their mothers

and though I don't know what context, it's definitely helped in that regard. I don't think, just to be clear, that this happened to me -- it's mostly uncertainty on my part) Which felt really good. And she gave me some homework in terms of setting boundaries, fighting negative self-talk, and continuing to do the journaling so I can have some stuff to talk about in our session. She's been taking me seriously, which is a relief. I feel a little bit better, at least.

I'm going to try and do better with not beating myself up about not being further along in this. It won't be easy -- I think I'm kind of The World's Expert In Beating Myself Up, and I'm only semi-kidding here -- but I think I can do it. Hopefully.

So happy for you that you had a good session. That really makes a difference in helping things look up, tc and blessings

Thanks! Honestly, it's been a rough road, but I'm hoping that either way it all turns out all right.
