Art therapy?
The Universe moves in mysterious ways. Before 'this', I would have completely chickened out of the idea of drawing or anything like it, but since I no longer play music for pleasure, I have gained art. You don't know any of this, though...so I guess we file this under happy accidents? I liked the way you said 'I'm not an art therapist, but...' I feel reassured that peace is possible when I am talking things through with you. I will get through this, scribbles or no scribbles. (Tell me to stop doing research on art therapy, and just enjoy the ride?)

Thank for your support and wisdom. You've been a lifesaver for me. I'm going to miss you but I understand you had to take that full time job at the VA. Best wishes.

I don't know what to do with the latest missive -- the repeated not-so-subtle guilt-tripping requests for money -- from the parental unit.
I am inclined to curl up and soothe myself by counting ways to kick the bucket. I really wish I hadn't been such a frickin' martyr and taken you up on the phone session over your vacation. I don't know how to cope. And, it seems I'm now going to be subjected to this every week. I don't know what to do. |

Dear t,
I'm sorry I didn't share the poetry I wrote with you. You didn't seem upset but I feel like keeping things from you is only hurting me. I was doing better when I was with my old t and I told her everything. I felt I had no privacy but I did feel better. You seem to think I have the right to privacy which I do but it seems I can't handle being alone with my thoughts so maybe I'll just tell you eventually. |

I know there is a fine line in T-world where they want to make sure their clients understand how they may come across in the real world, and not hurting them. I really believe your T crossed that line. You had a right to be angry with her! That is OKAY, especially since you struggle with anger in general. |

I am very sad and upset at the thought of leaving the twins and having to go back to my real life.
I really wish I had kids, or the possibility of them. |

Dear Dr. S, Thank you for everything today - too much to list here. I will try to find my way back to you. I feel close to you right now. I want it to last. We have some tough subjects to discuss in the next few weeks. Today felt really good. I love you, right now it is overflowing. Warm wishes, me

Dear T,
I feel like I haven't seen you in a month--how has it only been 9 days??? I hope you're having a good vacation. I really was tempted to contact you earlier this week when I was stressing about the tests. I know you said it would have been OK, but I figured I'd just bother MC instead. Plus, to be honest, I was trying to save the contact with you for if my test results *weren't* OK (or at least if I needed followup testing). Part of me wanted to text you to tell you that things were fine, but then I didn't want to interrupt your vacation. I wonder if you've thought of me at all? Because I'd feel bad if you were wondering if I got the results and were concerned, and then I didn't say anything. Maybe I'll send a quick e-mail later today. Hope you're having a great time! Love, LT |

Where are you? I'm here... In a really bad place.
Would you forgive me? ![]() |

How am I supposed to perform well on this interview this morning when I'm still feeling so bad about how I hurt you? I still feel awful about it.

Is it possible that feeling bad about something that you don't have control over (her reaction) is a distraction from the worry about the interview? Something you have a lot more control over?

That would be in character for me. As in, if i fail the interview it's the fault of stuff I can't control not because I didn't prepare enough. So much for me taking responsibility for my life huh. Oh well. Are you sure you don't moonlight as a t?! Insert that green big grin emoji here that I don't know how to do on my phone.

If a horse kicks me and injured me, I don't expect the horses owner to feel bad about it. My job involves putting myself in the firing line of unhappy horses. A T's job involves putting themselves in the firing line of unhappy people. If you were abusive, threw/broke things, threatened her etc I guess i would understand. But your T needs to be a big girl and take care of her own feelings, not make you responsible for them |

It just seems like a pattern...."bad art" upsetting someone and then needing to be "good art" and take care of everyone's feelings like itd your job to make others happy .
