Therapy sessions

Good morning!


Well I started up my therapy with a new therapist, Gina.  Anywho, she is about my age (maybe a bit older) and I felt a real connection with her.  She seems real genuine.  Her office is maybe 5 minutes from the house.  WOOHOOO!


Anywho, the session.....   I unloaded a truckload of frustrations onto her.  I discussed my depression and how I am really scared of my lows at times.  I dont get the highs/lows a lot but when I do, it is usually one extreme to the other.  I also talked about my adaption with dh and how I am NOW having a difficulty in it after 8/9 months after the wedding.  She wants dh to come in so she can get his take on it but that may/may not happen later.  I honestly think he wont do it since he thinks of it as a sign of weakness.  Whatever!  Some men do not get therapy.  Talking to someone is not a weakness. 


She gave me an assignment until the next time I see her (after the holidays).. to try to communicate with dh when I feel frustrated with him.  It is hard but I am going to try.  I think we may have our talk session tonight to help me pull out of my "safety zone".

I am a world famous list maker, Darla. Thanks for sharing your accomplishments via the list. Yay for you girl! BTW, I saw a new book advertised in the Sunday paper about discarded grocery lists the author collected. I can't wait to read it:)


Don't give up on the idea of getting into the psychology field. Life coachs are a hot item right now & I think they will continue to be. What I have found about the psych/mental health field is that those who have hit some rough spots themselves are more sensitive to the needs of others.


I hope you are feeling better. If this is anything like the virus running through our community, it knocks ppl on their butts for longer than expected): Keep in touch. Let us know how things go with Gina. (((hugs))) jan

Gina's thought is to pull both of us out of character to disturb the balance (not in a bad way, of course).

I am so happy that you had a good vacay. I am envious of you, gf;)


I think Gina will forgive you, but more importantly, you have forgiven yourself. Maybe she'll give you an extension:) GL & GBU! (((hugs))) jan
