sessions with my T again. I haven't been to her in about 10 years now. I seem to suffer more from situational depression and generalized anxiety caused mostly by stress it seems.
I've been back to her once last week and go again next Monday. It was wonderful to be talking with her again. She is such a wonderful woman.....and one who has a calming affect on me. She is so in tune with her clients......can really empathize and touch what we are going through. After getting somewhat caught up on my life over the past 10 years, she really made me feel wonderful....she was impressed with who I am now, compared to who I was 10 years ago. Impressed with the work I have done on my own.....impressed with how well I've gotten to know myself, love myself and have faith in my abilities now as compared to this angry, scared woman of 10 years ago. It really made me stop and think for a few days after our meeting. I went back those ten years....I reflected on the problems I had to deal with then. I remembered what she had taught me.....how she brought me around to realize so many different things by gently guiding me. So she asked me why I was back again. It's not as if there is one specific thing that is bothering me.....nothing that I can't really handle on my own....but a combination of things that I just feel I need to explore. Feeling like I need to have some "me" time in doing that exploring and just wanting a fresh mind to hear my thoughts and again, gently guide me into the realm of possibilities that I might not be seeing on my own. Yes....this is a good thing. I'm really looking forward to an hour every two weeks for just me   sabby |

With everything that you do and all that you deal with, I often wonder who is supporting you. I'm glad that you are doing this for yourself, and glad that you are enjoying catching up.

((((((((((((( Bethy )))))))))))))) You are so right.....I do need someone to vent to that has no motive other than to listen and open my eyes to other possibilities when I'm stuck on something!
Thanks hon! sabby |

Rap, IRL I have very little support actually. I have some friends, but they are all busy with their lives and their issues. It's hard to find time to get together face to face or even on the phone. So I go it alone most of the time. It's pretty much been that way most of my life so I guess I'm used to it. And of course I have PC which has been such a huge part of my life and growth. I think I would have been a basket case a long time ago without PC in my life.
Thanks ((((((((((((((( Rapunzel ))))))))))))))))))) sabby |

(((((((((((( Mouse_ ))))))))))))))) You are so right! The whole idea behind me going now is so that I don't go into crisis mode....sort of fixing the small leaks before they get so large that they bring down the dam..lol.

Isn't it great going back after a goodly period of time like that so you have the two pictures? I went back after 9 years but had a specific problem (my stepmother's decline into senility and eventual death). But it was nice to feel so comfortable right away.
Have you noticed ways in which your T has "grown" in the 10 years too? That's what really surprised me and felt good, my T was an even better therapist. I hadn't thought about her changing

Oh Perna...you are so right about how T has changed too. Back then I didn't think she could have gotten any better...I thought she was almost perfect then...and now....there is more of a sense of calm and understanding I felt from her....it was really amazing! Not to mention that feeling of complete acceptance and welcome from her....it really helped that little stomach butterflies to calm down within the first few minutes. Yes, I'm thinking I will have some hard work to do but it will all be good when I get through it!

This sounds really nice, and to be able to hear her marvel at your growth must be so validating! After 10 years, you and Perna are in some sort of long-lasting therapy club! Good luck and good for you for reaching out! Peace
