I sent a frantic email to R yesterday, expressing everything that I couldn't express through sheer emotion on Thursday.
Now I'm having a Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy moment as in 'Don't panic.' Is 'I'm OK with it, but let me freak out first' something therapists have experience with? __________________ 'Somewhere up above the great divide Where the sky is wide, and the clouds are few A man can see his way clear to the light 'You have all the grace you need for today, and today is all that matters.' - Steve Austin |

My therapist made a mistake last week which I found humiliating and which caused her shame. It was a very intense session. She was shaken and that in itself was difficult for me to observe. Anyway, I have done something art-based on the back of it - I have created her mistake in a form which we can hold, change, unpick, literally do something with it. It has been such a valuable thing for me to do. I had a period of art therapy in my 30s after having been very unwell and I often think about the importance of what that gave me - the different forms of things, metaphor, creation, etc. It has a similar effect to that of somatic work or embodied endeavour in that I like experiencing the meaning in these different ways.

Just 'cause the cake needed some icing...
I've just had a text from the grief support service I use informing me that my 'subscription' is coming to an end next week. I didn't realise that the weekly messages were time limited. This is separate from everything, but another 'regime change'. __________________ 'Somewhere up above the great divide Where the sky is wide, and the clouds are few A man can see his way clear to the light 'You have all the grace you need for today, and today is all that matters.' - Steve Austin |

Bereavement support directory Hopefully you can find another support service (or two). Over the years I have had to do some deep dives into researching support services in order to find free support for myself outside of therapy. There are a variety of them here in the U.S. Some are helpful to me and some...not so much. However, I find that it's very empowering to do the research, make contact, give them a try, and (hopefully) find a helpful resource for myself that can be used as needed. |

Thank you so much, Inky.
I'll take a closer look at that link to see what I can find. __________________ 'Somewhere up above the great divide Where the sky is wide, and the clouds are few A man can see his way clear to the light 'You have all the grace you need for today, and today is all that matters.' - Steve Austin |
