They used to be quite the rage. I imagine the rarer ones are worth money. Especially if the tag is still on.

I would look on ebay or just Google beanie babies value. (Indeed some of them are worth money. Yowza. )

Exactly!! That is exactly what happened. It's still buzzing my head. I believe it's card worthy for Tuesday next week. Hopefully I can seal it up in the envelope and it will be good and stay there till then. It's a holiday weekend and I'd like to be "here" to enjoy it!!

I'll do that! Thank you. Couch 117: Come On In and Set-tee A While. They do still have the tags on them so now I'm truly excited to check it out.

It was nice to read she had been honored by Obama, ESPN, etc. You hear coach K this and coach K that, I was like, I don't hear about her til she dies? But fortunately that was not the case.

Quote:
Tennessee is known as the "Volunteer State", a nickname some claimed was earned during the War of 1812 because of the prominent role played by volunteer soldiers from Tennessee, especially during the Battle of New Orleans. Other sources differ on the origin of the state nickname; according to the Columbia Encyclopedia, the name refers to volunteers for the Mexican–American War. This explanation is more likely, because President Polk's call for 2,600 nationwide volunteers at the beginning of the Mexican-American War resulted in 30,000 volunteers from Tennessee alone, largely in response to the death of Davy Crockett and appeals by former Tennessee Governor and now Texas politician, Sam Houston.
This message is not too short!

Would it be totally douche-bag-y to take along a copy of a peer-reviewed article to the T showing that their method of handling ruptures has been empirically shown to suck after well, a rupture?

I think not but then again, I was never in danger of becoming the most popular kid in school. Hence, any opinions on appropriate therapeutic social graces would be highly appreciated!

Please post a reference to the article.

No amount of telling Madame T she was wrong ever did me any good. Your milage may vary.

My post no.76 on that page -- if you go to the last page with the summary, there are two other citations about the danger of over-using transference interpretations (my particular bugbear). They are though from edited volumes -- I'll see if I can dig them up from my school's library.

Yes indeed.

Quote:
For example, a therapist explores similarities between the control struggles occurring in the therapeutic relationship and the patient’s parallel tendency to become involved in controls struggles with others in his or her life.
This is the line Madame T took. It was a disaster because I felt she was discounting my experience and ignoring my specific issues with her.

Quote:
When this takes place, it is important for therapists to attempt to respond in an open or nondefensive fashion, and to accept responsibility for their contribution to the interaction as opposed to blaming the patient for misunderstanding or distorting.

It also proves important for therapists to empathize with their patients’ experience and to validate them for broaching a potentially divisive topic in a session.
Are you listening Madame T? No, I didn't think so.

Another question.

Since I started sorting this out, I've quit watching tv. I can't deal with it. Can't explain, but maybe someone understands. I listen to my music, which encourages me.

The h is drawn to shows that bleep out more words than you can hear, or either so violent that I can in no way inflict that on myself.

In the past I would just sit there, and I guess, just not be there. Can't do that anymore. I go into my space (the kitchen) with my earphones. It makes him feel alone, I think, but a part of me doesn't care. That part feels safe.

Does that make sense to someone?

It makes a lot of sense. I don't like violence on film myself. I can deal with seeing the aftermath of violence, but not the actions themselves.

The ancient Greeks forbade any bloodshed in their tragedies to take place onstage. All offstage, with sound effects, and then a messenger would come in and tell you what happened or they'd open the doors on the stage and show you the scene.

Eta: somewhere in my post there is a translingual pun. Who can spot it?
My money is on Crocus.

Wow!! Forgive me, but that sounds much like a dissociative experience. Is that just me?

Again. I'm still trying to figure out what the heck is going on with me.

I don't see why it would be dissociative? To them tragedies had Serious Moral Messages and Asked Big Questions and showing violence on stage would only distract the audience from that. The Romans by contrast looooved violence on stage, which reflects their culture.

And now I am going to stop lecturing.

(To answer the original question, I don't know what's going on with you, but it sounds healthy to me if you're creating your own safe space.)
Thanks for this!

Maybe, I'm thinking, because I don't have memory of the actual events after a certain point. I don't have an actual memory of what really happened. Maybe that's why I thought of it that way.

Think, maybe, it may have been a combined question. ? If that makes sense. I'm trying to make sense of this myself!!

Thank you for your reply!!

Sorry..

More thoughts. There is violence there. I see the beginning of it. The rest of it is clicked off.

I believe that is what connected the dissociation to the reference of the Greeks doing the violence off stage and telling of it to the audience.

Kind of feels like where I am right now.

Just wanted to say that. Validation. It helps me right now.

Thank you again for your reply. It totally makes sense to me.

lolagrace: would insurance still pay if i see 2 different T's same week..or alternating weeks? just curious.

i have appt tomorrow first thing in the morning...
i am going to be really honest with him...and see how he takes it...i wont let him talk in circles this time..and avoid direct questions...
this might totally backfire...he might get defensive...or it may not be resolved...and i might end up feeling worse than before.
but atleast i will know where we stand and what to do next.
i can try out a different T...

regardless..i am super proud of myself...that i chose the adult route of communicating...rather than dealing with it internally...in a negative..(i.e.SH)
wow..i am really growing not sure who to thank...or how i have ended up here...like a moment of realization...or something that caused changed in my thinking..i can not pinpoint it...why am i not SHing like i used to and choosing to find another option. (T and i dont talk about SH ..so he gets no credit in helping me with this)
anyway...i am nervous about tomorrow...seeing how strong/weak our therapeutic relationship is.
will he be a grown up about it..or be childish.
am i prepared to lose him?
will he be totally clueless as to what i am talking about?
what if he just says i am sorry...this caused you so much distress it wasnt my intention...will this be enough for me...? is that all i want from him...or do i want more?
i dont know actually...
i want him to fully understand, validate and acknowledge my feelings(hopefully i can convey them clearly and not be embarassed)
omg...i cant believe i am gonna do this tomorrow. i have never ever done this. i cant believe i am being so brave to face the consequences of being upfront and direct.

is this really me?
wow.
i am totally impressed !

its late at night...gonna go to bed..and hmm..will update how it went.
hopefully positive outcome. fingers crossed.

good night couch !!!!!

Makes complete sense. I don't even own a tv. Sometimes I miss it, if I feel like getting comfy with a movie and a screen bigger than my laptop, but for the most part I think TV shows are just annoying noise people use to fill the silence. I like silence, me.
