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".

Hey Darla,
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
Went to talk with Gina last night.
Hi Darla,
Gina's thought is to pull both of us out of character to disturb the balance (not in a bad way, of course).
Hey Darla,
How's things going, Darla?
Oh I had the most relaxing vacation!
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
