Couch 204: The Refactorable Couch

ATAT - I don't know if you are a trader joe's sort or not -but I hear their ABC (almond butter cocoa) gluten free cookie bars are quite good. I haven't seen them at my tj's yet but I am going to look for them. People on a trader joe forum have been giving them thumb ups.
"Trader Joe’s Almond Butter Cocoa Bars—which we’re affectionately calling ABC Bars for short—are sweet, salty, and sure to satisfy. They’re pocket-sized squares of oat-and-rice-flour-based, chocolatey dough (made with real cocoa and a dash of almond butter), sweetened with fig paste and filled with almond butter. They’re like our PB & J Bars’ chocolatey, almond-y cousin. They also happen to be gluten free and vegan"

I feel like ****. I want to ask for an extra session tomorrow but that seems excessive. He's probably sick of me.

I met with t yesterday to talk about our issues. It didn’t really change the way I have been feeling about him or my therapy.

I am just stuck in this position that I am clinging to t because of what he represents to me and how it used to feel in therapy. And now, where there is this block between the two of us.

I'm one of those stupid students who sent my professor an email yesterday telling her I might be looking at hospitalization (again) soon. I don't know if it'll happen, but I'm worried about it happening after last week with the pdoc. So I wanted to let her know just in case even though I told her I know I'll still get docked points if anything is late. I'm regretting sending it now and haven't even read her reply. Nice and relevant to discussing anxiety and mood disorders in class.

So far, not having any regrets about taking break from T. Honestly, my main regret is not doing it sooner--I could have saved myself a lot of distress (and money--the other T's I'm trying are all cheaper, even with T giving me a reduced rate). Phone consult with K2 at 10:15 today, meeting with M tomorrow, and think I may be able to see K1 (the consulting T) on Thursday. And lunch with a friend Friday.

It's (sinuses) like half your head. Whatever is not your mouth or brains.

Im a scientist!

I just want to get my foot in the door early on possible therapist nicknames.

K2 is a very very very bad mountain. More deadly than Everest, percentage-wise. Harder to climb. Wasn’t conquered till after Everest. Site of possibly the greatest single-person feat in Himalayan history: The Miracle Belay

So, if there’s a chance the nickname might become self-fulfilling, avoid using K2.

My dear lemoncake - did you mean this?

Yerr not the only one who knerrs anatomy!

Wait - i hugged her?? Oh no!

Man i had weird dreams this morning.

I would just keep Dr. T and use the past tense.

There really needs to be a how-to for therapist monikers.

If I end up going with the T I see tomorrow, he also works as an art therapist, so he could be AT for Art T. He also mentions loving cats in his profile, so Cat T (CT?) is another option...Don't know enough about the woman I'm talking to in a half hour (just her Psychology Today profile--doesn't have a website listed, whereas I was able to find CT's professional website and his LinkedIn page (which includes a cat in his profile photo...it's quite unique.

CAT? ACT?

[Woo alert] I seem to be seeing a lot of sequential numbers today - 11:11, 12:34 and just now 3:21...indication that I'm doing something right? [/Woo alert]
