Couch 114 - Take a Pew

My mother is here. So far, it's been ok. They put her on venlafaxine in the hospital so she could relax. It's helping her be tolerable too.

I am reading a history of 19th century whaling.

I am rather inclined to side with the whales.

No you are not!! If I had that option I'd certainly do the same!!! Hope all goes well.

I'm feeling so very off right now!

Hoping I can go to bed and wake up and it be ok/better!! Nobody here understands. I try to explain why I'm not myself to my h and he gives me a sweet hug. Pats me on the back and tells me I'll be ok.

There is a part of me with a 2x4 in her hand that wants to smack him with it. Yeah! Right up side the head.

Just saying.

Hearing "Don't patronize me" not sure where that's coming from but I'm listening.

Sorry to rant!! I just needed to say it. Thank you for whoever read it. If it wasn't so late, I'd go for a run.

Sending hugs to all who want them.

Am I ok? I don't really want to do tomorrow. Not in a bad way.. Just would rather not. That sounds whiney. Sorry. Think I'm having a self pity moment.

Just read a blog that makes me want to quit paying any therapist.

Hi Incas!

Hugs! I hope you feel better soon.

For me, T sessions can be painful in a "good" (or at least constructive) way or in a bad way. Today's session was definitely the latter kind.

(Not saying that all sessions are painful, just that the painful ones come in two different flavours.)

Are you going to keep it to yourself?

It was posted on another thread here.

If it's that one you describe as condescending, I agree, the article sounded like it was aimed at children.
I've got to say though, as someone who's training as a T, I will never, ever patronise clients like that. I began as a client and I will always respect my clients. I have learnt as much (probably more) from clients on this forum as from my tutors in terms of how it feels to be a client and how not to treat your clients.

Just walking around in a kind of fog since this morning's session. I don't know what to do. I just feel trapped and locked in and lonely.

Crocus - I dislike sessions like that. Do you wish you had cancelled instead or was it just a hard 'processing' session?

Morning couch. Actually feeling somewhat 'normal' today. Tired though. T and I had a lengthy text conversation last night and it helped. That connection to her, even though she's not working right now. I've made it 6 days without her so far, I can do another 6.

Thanks. No, I would not want to have cancelled - if I had I would really feel miserable now! It was just... well, it's hard to define without going into specifics. I didn't process much of anything I'm afraid. (Those are the "good painful" kind, I think.)

Blah. I just wish tomorrow wasn't Friday. And then the weekend.

No words needed. I understand those sessions too well. ((Crocus))

I wish it was Friday and the weekend... I need the weekend. I need Saturday to come so I can see T in our natural habitat before she comes back to the office on Wednesday. I need to be able to sleep in and zone out.

(((Crocus)))
Would it help to contact your T?

Think about your fantasy instead ((js))

Thinking of you and sending support your way.

I almost would have had a lovely week with t gone tomorrow, but my brother wants to do estate meetings. I'm embarrassed - the estate isn't worth that much to entice people to not leave early for their three day weekend. I guess I should say something. But he gets so punitive, so high and mighty. Hopefully he wasn't able to make the appt. Fingers crossed!

JS sending hugs and good thoughts your way! I hope it goes well. And yeah, what EM said... 😉
